Help, removing tung oil stain
I'll never learn. I was wearing my new shirt when applying tung oil on a
wooden box mounted on the lathe. Then too late some of it went on my new shirt. ;--(( The probabilities of removing the stain is remote. However, some of you may have a magic way of removing it. Any help or comments would be appreciated. Denis |

Dennis, you might consider doing the whole shirt in tung oil, and wearing it
as rain gear. |

Anecdotally speaking (ahem!), I can only advise that it does work for taking tung oil out of tuxedos ("smoking" en français); however, that was only one time and I have not turned formally since!*G* You turn in a tuxedo? Blimey, I'm dead impressed! I once turned in a chenille jumper. Then I found out just how tenaciously wood shavings can cling to fabric! Giles. |

Giles are you referring to a sleeveless dress worn over a blouse or sweater or a pullover sweater. As to the tuxedo, I was referring to it anecdotally speaking, therefore, it may or may not be true since I didn't do a scientific study of it.*G* Leif |

Now I have graduated for tung oil stains to Gorilla glue.
The old rag shirt I wore most of the time is immune against stains. Every-time I wear a new shirt it becomes stained. So I concluded that to avoid stains is to wear my old rag shirt. ;--) BTW to remove dried tung oil from eyes' glasses or shield the best way is to use alcohol swabs or simply rubbing alcohol known as Isopropyl because it contains a very small quantity of oil.
