I don't mind trimming when it's only a few #'s. The 4 weeks I trim every fall is a bit much. Nice when its all done tho.

Great tip blastfrompast!
I keep telling people about using Goo Gone to cleanup after trimming.
Makes it so much easier to cleanup.

I soak a small piece of paper towel in the stuff then rub it between my fingers.
Hot water and GoJo with pumice to finish off.

Big time saver and really gets it all.

Use some olive oil and literally rub the resin leftover on your hands in to them, maximise the healing potential you know :D

Trimming annoys me simply because I'm too good at it to get out of it, the visible speed difference between myself and the hourly trimmers is apparent no matter how well I train them, no one can seem to get down the technique for ripping a plant apart with their bare hands either :bashhead:

I have several grocery bags full of sticky gloves awaiting this process, going to then give to a friend to blast into shatter, and die happy.

all you need is olive oil or another oil to disperse the resin, then soap.

cheap and easy.

Yeah I'd say trimming is the worst part by far. I even have a "Trim Reaper" and I still hate it lol.

I always wear the nitrile gloves though. They sell them fairly cheap at Walmart and are super convenient.
