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:

I think it will wear off eventually, but I'd like to clean it, or should i just add batting, backing and quilt it?
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....
