I was sharpening a scraper and had some lubricant oil on my fingers. I forgot and touched the guitar now the back has a few spots with oil in the wood. How should I go about removing it? |

I've found out about "K2R" many years ago when I built and flew gas powered model airplanes. Its a spray on product that dries and turn into a white power that you dust or vacuum off. In process of drying it absorbs the oil, kinda suck it out of the wood fibers rather than deluting the oil with a solvent and spreading it out over a larger area. http://www.truevalue.com/product/5-oz-S ... /44035.uts |

Dish washing liquid. Then rinse with water. |

I like to use nose grease. Yeap, just rub the skin on top of your nose with you thumb and index finger and wipe on the scraper, or put on a plane sole and you'll notice a big difference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I absentmindedly set an unfinished body on a surface treated with mineral oil. A few days later I went back down to the shop and found the stain. The oil was even showing through on the other side. The advice I got was to use naptha. It took about three liberal applications to remove all traces of the oil. No finish (shellac) issues either. |

If the Naptha doesn't work or you can't get it where you live you may want to try Corn Starch or finely ground kitty litter. Leave it on for a day or so and it will absorb the oil. +1 on the nose grease. It's what I've used for a long time. |
