Yikes!Â* Anything not so harsh?


Try mineral spirits.Â* You may get it off with linseed oil and they you
can wash that off with soap.


Hi Ed,

I don't have any turpentine, mineral spirits or linseed oil.
But that gave me an idea. I do have heavy mineral oil, USP.
That worked! Thank you!

I am going to do a follow up with Enviro Cleanz just in case.

I was fun trying to get the mineral oil off, but that was edible.
It fell to dish washing liquid after a good wipe off.

Now to cook. Zucchini fear me again!
