ncdrifter Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I goofed, I set a can of 3 in 1 oil on my mahogany low boy and some ran onto the table top and was absorb into the wood. How can I remove the oil stain from the wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatworks Today Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 That's a tough one. Is there any kind of finish on LB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that makes it far worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Try repeated cleanings with laquer thinner. I might escalate to MEK ( Methel Eythel Ketone ) if the laquer thinner doesn't do the trick. Both are highly flammable so outside, gloves and a respirator will be needed. MEK is potent stuff, taint cheap either. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
