[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel Soaked Balsa

[Terry Terrenoire]

Erik: Buy a big bag of kitty litter. Get a box big enough to put the
fuselage into. Now put a layer of kitty litter on the bottom of the box,
fill the fuselage wit the litter, Put the fuze in the box, then pour the
rest of the litter over the fuze. Now, let is sit for a few days. You
might shake it up a bit daily. When you remove the fuze it should be
almost as oil free as when it was new.
Seal the wood by painting with clear dope, or balsa rite before
reapplying the Monokote!

Trying to recover the bottom of a Focus II.  Problem is fuel soaked balsa
is not letting the covering stick. 

Looking for a way to treat the wood to get the oil out it so the covering
will stick.
