Default How to remove RTV stains?

Working on the truck today and used black RTV on the plastic cover. Somehow managed to get it all over my arm, wiped off the excess but I have black dots all over still. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this, or do I have to just wait it out?

Well the stuff that takes it off probably isn't the best for your body!

But laquer thinner and xylene are some of the strongest solvents.

As for getting it off your skin without causing bodily harm, the strongest dish washing liquid you can get plus water with pressure behind it (more pressure than the shower would give) might be the way to go!

Just a suggestion.
