I have done this. It’s the only way to remove polymers from the hands.
By the way, polar aprotic solvents (e.g. THF, DMSO, ethylene carbonate, etc.) must be avoided otherwise, severe dermatitis will occur.

I have done it too when I have been lazy...  I think I used acetone... but not methanol. I am not sure about acetone - I read that it can build in the kidneys or something..  anyway, I am not sure it is the only way. It can be slowly abraded off with something like swarfega, or just picked off slowly with the fingers. Best wear gloves to avoid it in getting on you in the first place, although after years and years of working with anything you will probably end up getting something on you.

Tonight I’m going to party like it’s on sale for $19.99!
