Today was a rather wet day. My Filson hat was a bit wet after The Used Dog and I returned from a long walk.
So, I rummaged around and actually found the wax stuff that is for tin pants. I smeared that on my hat.
My hands were sticky (this is the whining part) but it did make it easier to turn the pages of the book I'm reading.
Now, the household hint.
I finally got out my can of at least 10 year old butter flavored crisco, smeared that on my hands, then rinsed twice with Dawn, and my hands were back to normal. Funny, all I use the crisco for is to season my cast iron and remove pitch and now it has another use.
