Removing Tru-Oil

[nvbirdman]

No, not from the stock, from my hands. I've been using mechanics hand cleaner and it works pretty well, but does anyone have a better method?
I'm starting to finish the stock on my GPR kit so I need to know this. Thanks in advance. :hatsoff:

I use lava soap and warm water. Works for me.

I use dish soap and water. But it comes of pretty hard.

I guess I wouldnt recomend it for regular use on skin, but acetone removes even dried tru-oil from metal.

I use wd40 to thin it and break it up ... and then soap and water. :grin:

So do I. :thumbsup:

I just use Gojo hand cleaner. Works great as long as the Tru-Oil is still a little tacky.

goto the local auto paint shop and get a container of the hand soap stuff they use. I have this bottle of 'body shop hand cleaner' usc#52100 b/t#60685. usc bond tite. contains conditioners, aloe, lanolin and jojoba. removes stains/varnish, urethane paints, primers, silicones, resins, enamel, oil paints, lacquer, adhesives/sealants, clear coats, body fillers,grease/grime.

This stuff is the best I have ever seen. removes paint like it's nothing.

I use WD-40 followed by regular diswasher soap - works good for me. Dan

I tried gloves once but found it a pain. When the Tru-oil gets even a little tacky the gloves stick to the peice your working on, making a funny pattern in the finish as well... like you've got clear cling-wrap on it or something.
