KR> Grease on Wood
Having my nephew around here for the last few years, I have not been able to work on my project due to the mess of junk he would pile on my work table.(He's 53 yrs old with an old car and a motorcycle) He is now gone to Texas and I have cleaned off my work table. Big problem, he spilled some oil and grease on the table and the right side of my project was still on the table. the skinned side was up and has oil stains on the front two bays. there is also oil or grease stains on the back stringers and longerons. Is there anything that will neutralize the stains or will I have to rebuild the side? patric...@usfamily.net Patrick Driscoll Saint Paul, MN If you could read this, thank a teacher If you read it in English, thank a veteran --- Get FREE High Speed Internet from USFamily.Net! -- http://www.usfamily.net/mkt-freepromo.html ---

I have a son who did the same thing with my wood from some old VW parts (good source for engine though) but it was on wood I hadn't used so I tossed into the firewood pile. Not sure about on an aircraft.

he spilled some oil and grease on the table and the right side of my project was still on the table -- Pat I would get some grease and fingerprint remover the Panel Shops ( Autoshops) use to rub off greasy prints and marks before they paint. This stuff works well, and I think it will do the job. Type in Wax & Grease Remover and do a search Phil Matheson SAAA Ch. 20 http://www.saaa20.org/ VH-PKR Australia EMAIL: phillipmathe...@bigpond.com KR Web Page: www.philskr2.50megs.com --- Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html

he spilled some oil and grease on the table and the right side of my project was still on the table -- I would be tempted to duplicate the problem for a test piece that I would then clean and laminate another piece to it. Put one half in vise and break the other half off. Verifyng it doesn't break in the glue joint. (Just like testing your laminated spar caps) Just a thought. Steve Phillabaum

I find that lacquer thinner works quite well on almost anything like that. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2008 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Ill There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC

Oily wood... I was once gifted an RC airplane, called an astro hog. This astro hog had years and years of flight time on it. It was very well constructed, but after years of flying, the wood at the firewall, foredeck and bottom was soaked through with caster and synthetic oils from the model airplane fuel. I needed to dry that wood out and epoxy had to stick to it, in order to replace the firewall. I used K2R (not KR2) spot lifter. Every day for 2 weeks I'd apply the spot lifter, every night, scrap it off and reapply. Afer two weeks, I was able to install a new firewall to that (once) oil soaked fuselage, allowing me to install the new (twice max recommended power) german engine I had in surplus. worked great, lotsa poser too. Unfortunately the plane was lost when the ailerons responded to uncommanded input (on short final) from a defective potentiometer in the RC handset. The firewall never let go of what was at one time oil soaked wood. jg

Thanks for all the advise guys. I'll try what I can and let you know the results. I sent my nephew to Texas because from Minnesota that was as far as I could send him and not have him get lost.

John, I've also had very good results using K2R Spotlifter to remove oil from heavily soaked wood and later re-glue the wood with T-88. However as we say, YRMV. For safety sake, though, I'd sure recommend that after the K2R treatment the joints be tested for integrity. Ron Rheude propilot...@msn.com

After the spot lifter, I would use trichloroethane - the old school brake cleaner. Really hose it down. It will degrease anything. Allow it to fully dry out before gluing. -dave propilot...@msn.com wrote: >>> I used K2R (not KR2) spot lifter.
