in my experience... time to go shopping for new shorts and use those as your new "work shop" clothes....

I tried de-bonder, acetone, etc.... didn't really seem to work and there was always a stain left behind....

Nope, and that hard spot is going to be OK for a long time until the fabric around it wears out or the spot cracks. Either one can happen first. Your more lucky you didn't glue your shorts to your leg, man, that really burns!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, you can use debonder but it takes a while and it never completely goes away since it seems to get deep inside the fibers.

I always mange to somehow get CA or or epoxy on myself so now I wear the same stuff for airplane work that I do for working around the house.

A good shop apron is another idea that might help.

Consider it a badge of honor as a builder, because it's there for good. As the others have said, there is no good way to get it out!!!

That's how I mark my t-shirts and shorts/pants to be used for building.
It seems I've got a heck of a lot more building t-shirts than I have any other type!
Really ticks off the maid.

Same here ...im a hands on guy, and always end up getting epoxy, gorilla glue, or resin on my hands....i have a windex bottle with acetone in it and spray my hands and wipe in on my "shop shirt" in the long run it saves me from using so much paper towels

I was putting on a cowl once and the screw went flying and I couldn't find it anywhere. That night in bed my wife said that my arm was scratching her really bad. I looked at my arm and there was the screw firmly CA'd in place. She didn't didn't think it was nearly as funny as I did.
