I'm part of the police patrol for proper English. Congratulations! You used "affect" accurately.

As long as you're not part of the quilt police. :roll:

Try W-D40. It works for me. Don't know what the table's finish is, but have used it on finished wood, and it worked

Affect is correct.

If soap and water wouldn't get it off your table, how does it wash out of the quilt?

how about some WD40, i use the WD40 that comes in a stick pen to take stickers off of things and it works

I use my non-oily marykay eye makeup remover, no streaks left behind

Lol haven't tried the spray baste thing don't mind basting.

Well I just learned something. Best wishes in getting the basting off. Note to self...

Ti tree oil or eucalyptus oil gets it off, but you should check it on a small part of your table to make sure it doesn't affect whatever the finish is on your table.

Try rubbing alcohol. It won't hurt it at all, and will evaporate quickly

Just a few words about dust on your furniture. You should never remove dust because it is a protective layer for the wood.
FYI I use a king size old sheet when I use spray baste. Then I just wash it when I'm done. Much easier then newspaper.

Maybe olive oil will work. I've removed a lot of sticky things from a lot of sticky surfaces with olive oil, and it is not harmful to anything, including hands and finger nails. I love your sense of humour too. Honestly, this group is just too much fun!!

All the suggested products probably work because of their oil based components and none should hurt the Teak. As for the Vintage Dust that could be a temporary problem but guaranteed to return with normal neglect...LOL Good Luck let us know what works.

Try an oil based cleaner like Murphys oil soap thats meant for cleaning wood.

What about Undu(sp)? It's the stuff that's used to remove labels from containers, old photographs from antique albums, etc. It doesn't hurt the photographs or labels so maybe it would be safe for your table, too? :? I sure hope you can remove it. If not, I kind of like your idea about adding some batting and quilting it! :thumbup: :lol: :lol:

Try mineral oil and some paper towels. Try it on an inconspicuous spot first, so you can be sure it won't discolor. You could also try Old English Oil for fine furniture. I use it on my Oak without problems. It even helps repel water rings. Good luck.

You'll probably need a very sturdy needle when you quilt it! Perhaps a "log" cabin?

This and my lungs are just more reasons why I quit using the spray baste and only use safety pins and love them!

Rubbing alcohol will work but make sure before to do a test area, a hidden test area. It also removes tree sap from cars without hurting the paint.
Oh yea, try hair spray next time, I've heard it works as well as spray basting, never tried it myself though, actually, never tried spray basting either....

I know how you feel. I did the very same thing and I had even put towels down to protect the table. The white is there forever sadly. :cry:

Don't use anything but teak oil!!!
You might not have used enough teak cleaner. Try again.
Put some on a cloth and rub it out...anything else might cause spots! Teak is tough but you never know what some chemicals might do to it.
Next time, use a plastic tablecloth with the flannel on the back like some of us use for planning. (Plastic side up - Flannel side down)
and....Well, I hate to tell you....but that is going to be reported to the quiltn police as being a mite too lumpy?

not forever! try the mineral oil and fine steel wool very lightly -can't hurt, then apply whatever surface finish you already have on your dark pine table,
If you are down to wood, and it is lighter in color, use crayons carefully to match, and wax it.
If it is varnished, try carefully the steel wool and mineral oil, wipe it off well then put on clear nailpolish on spots that are about dime sized... (it will come off with remover if you don't like it.)
If you have very large areas, investigate using "French polish" on the internet or ask HOW TO ....? on google.

you could always try Avon's Skin So Soft it removes all kinds of sticky stuff even pine pitch.

Is there no end to what Skin So Soft can do??

Hi everybody.
There is a product from J T trading company called "DK5" that removes spray bastings I have used it and it works. A little smelly so open a window. Here in the NE its -4 degrees. I still open a window for awhile. Lots of luck. Purchased this in a quilt shop in Mass.

When I worked at the LQS, we had a product called DK5. Its pput out by the makers of 505 adhesive spray. Its for the removal of overspray. Its looks oily when it poes on but it dries and goes away. Just spray iton a soft cloth and then wipe the affected area. It does not harm furniture at all. It can be used on plastic, metal, glass, stone and ceramics surfaces. (I'm reading the label as I type.) Do not use it on fabric. I used it at the store and here at home with great success.

Very good point...

I spray basted on my kitchen floor once (after I mopped the floor.) When I went to sweep the floor later that week, I noticed the dust/dirt sticking to one spot after I ran the broom over it. I ended up using some "Murphy Soap" and it came up. I now only spray baste my wall quilts. All others are going on a long-arm frame.

BTW... "affect" is the right word. (I am an English teacher.)

Drat--I wanted to see the quilted DR table.

Love it. Wish I had read this early, before I got rid of my vintage dust. :lol:

Machine quilting on that baby will really be a challenge! :lol:

Thank you. I knew there had to be a good reason for leaving it there. :D

Try "Goo Gone". Walmart carries it. It comes in a liquid or a spray. It's in the paint area, by the adhesives. I used it on my cutting table, windowsills, vertical blinds, vinyl floor (all had a year old build-up & actually were black by the time I got around to cleaning it all up. I used the spray one, wiped off after letting it set for a couple minutes...no residue at all left. I had tried other things, nothing took that stuff off. I would test it on the underside of your table first, just to be safe. Good luck.

Have to tried the Mr Clean Erasers - they work great on so many things

I don't think it is funny! I got it on my hnair dryer and can't get it off. Hair dryer looks dirty. GRRRRRRRRR

These could damage the finish on the table and require a refinish job. Act kind of like sandpaper.

Does this mean you got the basting off your table?

Yes, the goo gone removed the adhesive from the table, didn't damage the teak finish and no oily residue.
