actually the trick is to not get it on ya in the first place. i buy Tyvek jump suits by the case for the heavy grinding and whenever im in a hotel i steal as many of those cheap plastic shower caps i can get my hands on . other than that i just wear a couple of long sleeve shirts and sweat shirts (like 3) and before you put them on dump a bunch of baby powder on your arms and neck. also its best to shower with the coldest water you can stand if you get it on ya and wash clothes with cold water as well. . . . . .an if that dosent work i use the method described by Sean
