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

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

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

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 "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.

One time I helped my painter friend set up for a tour that was going through her gallery and she had some glass table tops that had tape on them. To get rid of the sticky residue she had me use mineral spirits. Haven't found anything that advises you not to use them on...say...a wooden dining table

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?
