[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel soaked wood repair

Hey John,
What's the technique you use with Clorox?
Do you apply it and then just mop it up?
Thanks!
JLK

Full strength Clorox Bleach works best. It destroys the oil, works fast. It also will remove oil from everything that will rust!

Cool - that sounds good too. Since I own a few Harleys I always have plenty of "Speedy-Dry" (floor dry) on hand!

I actually found some K2R at the local hardware store today so now I have 2 methods that might help me save this airplane. :)

I`ve have used k2R in the past but,
But I find the best way is  use a good amount of Acetone soaked on a rag scrub
the parts you need cleaned real good leaving some Acetone soaked in the wood ,
Then, fill the nose with " floor dry "Or "kitty litter" 
floor dry is better ,,,
you can buy a bag at the local Car Parts store
then place a heat lamp over the area ,,,even make a box or cover ,, to trap the
heat
and over night it will be dry as a bone,
it`s kinda messy But it`s the best way I`ve found so far and,
it will draw the oil out completely

right in Derby, CT (I'm in New Milford, CT). I'll try to find it at the
hardware store today (Ace and True Value are suppposed to carry the stuff). If
they don't have it, I found a place that sells it online. Thanks everyone
- if this works as well as you say I should be able to buy some time for this
airplane after all. Of course just how much time that is depends on the pilot...

great when I used it years ago.  Put it on, let it dry, and vacuum it off.  A
couple of applications might be needed, but it did work.
