What's the best way to clean probond off the hands ?
I have tried alcohol and nail polish remover to not much avail
since it seems to be absorbed into the skin and stays tacky for a while and then causes the skin to peel a few days later.

I use brake parts cleaner on a rag, or WD-40 if I can't find the Brake Parts Cleaner. They seem to work pretty well. The best plan would be to wear cheap vinyl gloves. If you can stand having your hands in a sweaty plastic bag, it keeps the glue off and you can toss them when you get thru.

I have read somewhere, that using baby powder and rubbing it on the Probond will ball it up and peel it off. I have not tried it myself, so let me know if it works too!

No, that won't work.
the probond actually gets absorbed into the skin unlike CA which just hardens a crust on the skin which can be scraped off the next day

Keep a damp rag or sponge handy when using ProBond and when you get some on your fingers wipe it off right away before it sets. If I does set up a little I use a detergent and water with a hand brush. I really havent had much of a problem with it.

To those of you with wives, sneak into the bathroom and grab that stone block looking thing. She uses it to sand the skin or something, I dont know, dont want to know. But I do know it works pretty good for getting CA and Probond off the skin. Just dont get caught. Had to give her the check book for a while to calm her down.

I'm not sure how to get it off, but you can do the obvious which is to wear rubber gloves. I had to start wearing these when I build this year when I got contact lenses, and well... my eyes are very sensitive and will almost swell shut when I put my contacts in/out with anything on my hands(ca, epoxy, probond, etc...). Don't ask me how I know
