Any use this "lotion" and does it work as advertised for oil based stainsand paints like latex, etc?

Yes, I have heard of it and stocked it for a customer. The brand we stocked was Liquid Gloves. Our business sold auto parts and body shop supplies to GM dealers. The body shops bought the product. It works BUT, it has to be reapplied every 2 to 4 hours. YMMV. Also, you had to almost work it as hard to apply as to actually clean your hands. In other words it is very important that you work it in under your finger nails, around your cuticles, and in all the folds of your skin at you knuckles. If you miss a spot, you get dirty. You also have to wash it off after usage to clean your hands, although this was an easier task and it make you hands feel kinda weird.With all that in mind, the brand you are considering may work better and be a bit less trouble to apply. IIRC the brand that we stocked was 3M.That said, I have done quite a bit of painting and have found that to remove oil based stains and paints quickly I pour some thinner in my hands and work that in a bit and then wash...

If you are trying to keep stain (either oil or water base)off your fingers while applying it, try the "canners gloves" previously mentioned.

Thin enough to maintain a tactile feel, thick enough to protect, and they don't react with solvents.
