I needed to make some sandwiches for a class. The instructor wanted us to spray baste. I usually do this outside, but it was 15 degrees. I covered my teak dining room table with newspaper, but I got some overspray on the table. I thought that spray basting was supposed to wash out with soap and water, but this didn't remove it from the table. I also tried the teak cleaner I had, and this just seemed to smear it. I think it will wear off eventually, but I'd like to clean it, or should i just add batting, backing and quilt it?

Don't know how to advise you, but love your sense of humor!!

I think some of the Orange based cleaners might cut the adhesive from the spray. Also the citrus oil should be good for the table. OR - like you said you could just baste it and quilt it-LOL! Good luck with the clean-up!!

I use baby oil (prefer the gel) to remove sticky labels from bottles. I don't know if it would work on basting spray or if it would harm your table, but if all else fails, you could try just a small amount.

that is to funny

Ouch - I hope it all comes off. I'd try the baby oil or a furniture polish oil - teak needs oiling every now and then anyway, doesn't it?

My dining room table is currently finished in vintage dust... I should get out the furniture oil, myself. :?

try Scotts Liquid Gold-liquid or spray can.

How about some goo gone? It works great on labels tape or any stick substance and isn't harmful

For future reference, I used goo gone. Put a tiny amount on a paper towel, then rubbed the area. Removed residual oil with another paper towel. Didn't seem to affect (effect? any grammar police out there?) the teak at all.

I'll have to keep this in mind....

I baste on my cutting table andd use goo gone to clean it.

I had overspray on my laminate floor. I guess I didn't use enough newspaper. Anyway, I really couldn't get it off - it eventually wore off. I know I tried several things, from what I usually use to other cleaners. Didn't try goo gone though.

peanut butter is supposed to remove stickiness from labels, etc.

LOL! Your vintage dust would go well with my killer dust bunnies :D

WD-40 works to remove the spray residue and sticky labels.

I did this too. I used a magic eraser to get it off, but I don't recommend using one on the DR table. I've taken the shin off parts of my kitchen counters.

Thanks. Will try this.

GooGone is a great product. It removes gunk or adshives(spelling?) from all types of surfaces without damaging it.

Have you tried lemon oil or a furniture polish?

WD-40 works great!!!! Don't ask how I know! After getting the adhesive off, I rinsed with Murphy's Oil Soap to get the lubricant off. That combo worked so very well for me.

I sometimes have to spray baste on my bed. I first lay down a large sheet of plastic over the whole area. Then spray baste small items, not a full size quilt. I spray baste larger things outdoors or in the garage when its really cold. or wait for warm weather. Have folding tables out there to set up for large quilts.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!

:thumbup:

I also have used goo gone and it works.

Try Un-Du, you should be able to get it at Wal-Mart or a scrapbooking store. It's an adhesive remover that really works and won't damage. It removes adhesive from photos with no damage.

Your vintage dust would go well with my dog hair!! lol

I am so g;ad to see that I am not the only one that does things like this. As for the dust, well I have told my hubby many times that the dust and cobwebs help hold the home together,

I have used A Mr Clean Magic Eraser to remove spray from my cutting table.

Try Goo Gone, Skin So Soft oil or Baby oil. Any of these should do the trick. (Wonder if cooking oil would work?)

I would be careful with goo gone. It is great but might eat into some surfaces

I have a product called DK5 for removal of Adhesive Residue from Spray & Fix, 202,404, & 505. I use it on my embroidery hoops when I have used adhesive stabilizer. I also used it to remove the residue from a label on a plastic table I bought. And I used it to clean up overspray on my laminate floor. I think I bought it in the adhesives aisle of either Joann's or AC Moore (a craft store). Try it on a small area to be sure it doesn't harm your teak finish.

I finally used goo gone on the teak and it worked fine, but thanks for the info on the DK5. My hoops look terrible, but I've been hesitant to use goo gone on them for fear of getting the oil on whatever I embroider next.

I am really glad everybody found products to clean up overspray. I once had a really stupid idea to use a batting that you used steam to attach to the fabric. I was sandwiching a flannel quilt and thought it was thick enough and I would be fine on my dining room table. NOT! Every place where I hovered with my steam iron left a white spot on my dark pine table. I said a few really ugly works, shed a few tears and bought a table cloth. I screwed up, move on.

yeah, I was thinking WD40 as well.

No, really?! You're kidding???

Murphys oil soap fixed mine up nicely.

I have some scrubbys made from Aunt Lydias rug yarn and they work great from getting the sticky off my cutting mat.

vinegar works well too. Just be careful to wipe it off quickly dont leave it sit too long

There is a product called Goo Gone that I buy at a large hardware store (Menards) that works great on most hard t remove stuff and works well on wood.

In a small space, try mineral oil and 0000 steel wool This is used to put a 'hand rubbed' finish on furniture, I used it on a bench that someone with sweaty body sat on and left an imprint. A little patience and it is like new. Much easier than a refinish job.

Try WD-40. It removes sticky labels from bottles.
