Found an interesting way to make trimming so much easier and cleaner...

Ok, so I don't know how it took me so long to think of this but, if you lather your hands with olive oil, then wipe it all off with a paper towel, the resin doesn't stick to your hands and fingers during trimming. It will start to get sticky again after 15-20 minutes of trimming, so rub off the finger hash, and repeat the olive oil treatment. This is the first time I've trimmed a harvest where my hands weren't a gooey mess. I used to used gloves, too, but this workes even better, IMHO.

I barely touch mine with anything but scissors while trimming.

Same, just hold stem. But alot of people don't so this should work well

Trimming a gazzilion nugs for hours upon hours is in the past for me. I am too old for that shit

I use rubber gloves when trimming. But I never touch the buds anyways. Stem only....

I pretty much only hold the stems, too, but it still gets gooey.

I walked into Dollar Tree once and bought every single trimmer they had. Must have been around 50 packs of those light blue handled ones. Younger woman was the clerk....oh did she have a laugh when I put them all on the line plus a bunch of containers and sandwich bags. True story....good times lol.

Yeah, I used to toss my gloves in the freezer and then peel off the finger hash. I still wound up with a pea sized ball of finger/scissor hash and a bunch of kief from the trim tray.

Yeah man, I do this too. I have one of those little condiment squirt bottles so I don’t spill it everywhere. I use it to clean scissors as well as my hands. I rub it all over my hands ( just a little works fine ) and then wash my hands with dish soap. Completely clean every time.
