273321 Christian Gagneraud <chgans@g...> 2021‑04‑05 Removing oil from wood
Hi there,

On the topic of tote repair and fixing, I have a request for tips and tricks.
I bought a Paramiko no 10 plane not long ago, it is in good condition,
except the front knob and tote are saturated with machine oil.
I've cleaned them, dried tham, and they keep sweating oil.

Any techniques you can think of to remove the oil from these pieces of wood?

I've noticed that the hotter it is the more they seat out oil, so i
was thinking that i could boil or steam them.

Thanks Scott for sharing your tips on repairing totes, I have to test
the clamp you described there.

Chris,
NZ - just finished the wooden structure for the new 1000L water tank .
