can easy off remove oil from raw sanded wood gun stock? and if so would it be aerosol or trigger spray? If not is there a better way to remove it? :dancingbanana:
 
EZ-Off is caustic. It can chemically burn the wood.It's made for removing carbon from enameled steel not oil. Use Varsol.
 
I would think heating the wood up in an oven would help get the oil out of the wood... it should bead and leak out.
 
Brownells sells a material, I can't recall what they called it, but it is calcium carbonate ( chalk) that you mix with alcohol or other quickly drying liquid, then paint onto the oily stock . As the mix drys, it sucks oil out of the stock. Then you just brush it off. But I'm lazy so I just left my oily M1 stock in the sun on the deck ,on cardboard to protect the deck, then every hour or so wiped off the oil that bled out. It took 2 days of hot sun.
 
Something I've used a number of times is a product called liquid sandpaper, get it at your paint store and apply with super fine steel wool, works like a hot damn
 
Use a hairdryer and lots of paper towels. Then with the easy stuff out, use a dry rag and an iron (not your wifes good one) repeat as necessary. Finally use Javex to bleach out any stubborn stains.
