Got my new Delta delivered and need to clean the gunk off the tables.
Delta says use kerosene and specifically says not to use gasoline or
acetone. Finding kerosene is a pain in the butt. Any ideas?
Napalm. Then repaint.

Most of us don't have a clue what all these different fractions are or how
they differ. But just because something doesn't say it is kerosene,
doesn't mean it isn't kerosene or the next best thing. They don't call
wick type lanterns kerosene lamps because they burn whale oil. Yuppie
lamps still use kerosene, they just put colors and smells into it.

I don't know what camp stove fuel is but it acts just like lighter fluid,
excellent for removing gunky labels. It is not what we use to buy as
"white gas" which, near as I can tell, is regular gasoline without the
coloring and without the lead. Not too cool to burn gasoline with lead in
it in a camp stove. Course camp fuel will also work in a gasoline stove.
In any case, the camp fuel I've bought does not act exactly like gasoline
which is less viscous and evaporates faster.


All that money wasted on printing labels and warnings.

Don't normally take warning labels off but I sure
remove price labels, especially the on every piece
of plastic pipe where a fitting would go.


Suppose you and CW could get together over a cigar and discuss the
difference in volatility and flash point between kerosene and camp stove
fuel?

Nope, don't like cigars, quit smoking over 25
years ago, don't care if they do smoke, but assume
they have no selfcontrol and don't mind the stink.
Oh, and I really don't care about volatility and
flash point of kerosene and camp stove, just know
they are not quite the same thing.

Personally, I'd already have that saw outside,
washed with gasoline, good antirust coating added,
and in the shop cutting wood. Beats climbing
around in trees cutting limbs, like I did today.

Course if I was really gung-ho I'd be down at HF
buying a lathe and trying my hand and making some
bowls with the Amur Cork tree wood I cut today.
But, I've never turned anything so...........
