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....
