It got in under the latex gloves I was wearing (required under the AF's occupational health and safety rules at the time, I wish they'd had something more durable) and so I left red and black handprints all over the avionics bay trying to muscle this guide back into place.

The red stuff is 5606, which is nothing to whine about at all. I thought y'all were talking about Skydrol.

Pretty much everything petroleum-based required latex gloves due to the Air Force's worries about skin absorption. The cleanliness aspect had as much to do with it as anything else, though it made trying to hook a mule up to the aircraft a pain. Hydraulic fluid makes a great insecticide, too. Just leave a drip pan in the open and soon you'll find hundreds of insects have willingly crawled to their deaths in it.
