Oil Removal....

[John Farrell, Charter Member #33]

Mark - drive over to your local auto parts store, or big box hardware store, and pick up a bag of oil dri or other oil absorbent material. Lay the stock down in a long box on some of the oil dri and then pour some of it over the surface and leave it for a few days.

You'll be amazed at the result. I've been using that process for years to draw out oil from the head of, or cracks in, old stocks. Back when I started using it the stuff was called Speedy Dry. We used it to soak up spilled oils from the gas station repair shop bays.

John, that sounds like a great idea! I'da never thought of using floor dry. The 'quart jar and acetone method' sounds relatively safe, too.
