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

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.

BTW... "affect" is the right word. (I am an English teacher.) |
Drat--I wanted to see the quilted DR table.
