Just looking at this as a thing for next session and on the product page it advises to wear gloves when applying. Doesn't say anything about being harmful so I assume it's because it's hard to get off and that adds to the appeal.
Any one used it and how far does 100ml go please, does it make any difference if you let it dry completely on you naturally or dry with a hair dryer? Assuming coloured hair will be affected by the product?

You must be raving mad even thinking about it. Have you ever tried getting it off your fingers after you have polished shoes. Takes days
Airing on the side of caution is always a good idea, substances like that are not generally meant for more than basic skin contact on the hands. There is no telling what it might do to sensitive areas or to your skin from long-term exposure. It is also worth noting that shoe polish is designed to be abrasive and has chemicals in it. Also, the strong chemical smell which I am sure you don't want to be huffing for long periods of time.
Many years ago I used black shoe polish to turn a nice new pair of pink heels into black trash and ruin my nice white clothes at the same time. From memory it wasn't a huge issue to wash off although I didn't get too covered.

It's going to be stubborn but the biggest risk of all those mentioned will be risk of permanent respiratory damage via the intense fumes of solvents/spirits like kerosene and toluene.
It also contains lanolin (the natural water resistant oil from sheep's wool) also which, although it's not going to do you much harm will make it hard to wash off. A good tip is diluting it with another oil (like cooking oil) - before being tempted to go straight for the industrial de-greasers (or unpleasant solvents) - which will make it easier for a mild detergent to break down and wash away in water.

As an RT (subset of pulmonology), I can not emphasize the importance of that point enough! If you are ever thinking of sploshing with an industrial or non-food substance, do yourself a favor and read the material safety data (MSDS) sheet first
Love you, too
