Will dunking them in star san work?
Soap and water?
um, hand sanitizer? it's like $3 a bottle......
Yeah... this is the simple answer. I mean, the answer was right in the question.
Don't dip your hands in it. Perhaps I'm delicate, but after dipping my hands in some a couple months ago, on two successive brew-days, I ended up with some very painful burns on my hands, and a lot of lost skin. It could have been something else that caused the reaction, but I don't think so. Read and pay attention to the first aid instructions on the label.

Just Starsan. I usually use Iodophor, but with 2 brews on successive days, I used 1 batch of Starsan for both brews. Took a week or so to recover, but no permanent damage.

Stingray urine.
I usually pee on them. It's like my own Burton Salts....
+1. I use powderless latex gloves from the lab, but good old yellow kitchen gloves would work too.Um. Gloves, then sanitizer? You can't possibly clean your hands sufficiently, no matter how strong the chemicals. Ask a health care professional.
Put on a pair of new kitchen gloves, dip your hands in sanitizer, and be done.

Interesting hand/sanitizer story.
I had an infection on my finger. Had a hangnail that got infected...it was swollen and purple...I was about to go to the doctor for an antibiotic...then it was brewday.
Don't know if it was the result of Star-san (probably) or getting my hands in the steam from the brew-pot...but by the end of the evening my finger felt better. By the next morning the infection was clearly getting better. that was Sunday...today is Friday and there is no visible indication that there was an infection.
Now, I'm keeping a bottle of spray star-san in the medicine cabinet for emergencies!
I think someone on this site stuck his arm in up to his elbow fishing something out of the primary.
I have dunked my arm to my elbow in a post chilled keggle to remove a clogged chore boy scrubby. Good Times.
The Starsan felt as if ants were biting my arm.
Hehe...I've dunked my arm into the kettle after chilling because my sweaty sun glasses slid off my head and directly into the wort. I dunked my sweaty arm into the sanitizer and just went for it! Turned out just fine!
Boil up some water, submerge for 30 seconds. Repeat as necessary
