From what I have read is that the main thing is that it be a detergent --
not a soap. Read some of the remedies in the URL I posted.

I wonder which LDD will work best for wood, maybe some will work better
with
certain types.

Errh, gentlemen! Once more LDD rides to the rescue. The detergent
will
dissolve and vanquish those nasty oils!

Leif, Good idea, it may work very well. I agree with vanguish, but
dissolve?
I'm feel compelled to correct your chemistry. Only solvents can
dissolve a
substance (note the common root word) and detergent is not a solvent.
It
is more
likely the detergent is saponifying the oil. Dan
