Question :Oil Removal

[John Ferrell]

I hate to admit I have had more than my share of experience with this.

I have had good luck with the stain remover K2R (spray can, grocery store). 

I have had good luck with burying a Goldberg Extra 300 in kitty litter for 6 months covering.

The all around best solution has been full strength Clorox Bleach mopped on generously. Plan on bleach spots on what ever you are wearing, do it outside with plenty of ventilation. It also breaks down the oil on any steel so screws will start rusting in about 5 minutes! It does not remove the oil, it destroys it!

  Guys,
  I need your advise on how to get rid of oil seeping into the internals of a balsa fuselage. I have a Gator G202 (all wood) and somehow due to leakage in the exhaust coupler some oil is staining the inside of my fuselage. I am afraid if this is not rectified it will eventually weaken the wood and the glue joints and the aircraft will fall apart.
  Your advise is greatly appreciated.
