So, I was down in the shop today working on my pallet pistol.  Coming along
nicely.  I had cleared a lot of chisels and such off the bench to have room
to plane the sides.  I sat the stuff on my saw bench cause I was too lazy to
walk to the tool chests.  So a bit later I turn around and the saw bench is
full.  There was a SYP board laying across two logs.  My D16 with the
purpleheart handle was sitting on it.  I saw my rasp on the board and
thought, 'Man, I got tools on every flat surface in here."  Then I looked
down and saw two rust spots on my D16!  The horror!  One was still wet.  Now
I am careful to not put tools under the water pipes due to dripping
condensation.  No problem, I grabbed my saw and started wiping the water
off.  Then the stink hit me.  It was not water it was dog pee from that
horrible animal.  The humanity!!!!!   Best I can figure is she peed on the
steps (got tired of peeing on the wood floor now that she has ammonia fumed
the oak)  and it soaked into the basement somehow.  I put some mineral oil
on it cause it was close at hand.  Anybody have an ideas on what I should do
to protect my saw or reverse or halt any damage?  Thanks.

Bad Andy

Just clean it thoroughly then a coat of wax and you should be fine.  It
sounds like more attention should be given to the dog, however.

Andy, I have an idea. Maybe the horrible animal just needs to be trained
like a dog? ;-) That might save your floors AND your tools.They like to
pee where there's a pee smell, so get it outside and wait until it pees
then keep bringing not back to that spot until it gets the idea.
(Usually pretty quickly.) It won't be easy, but you need to remove the
pee smell from your indoor places, or the dog will take the easy way out
and pee there when you're not paying attention.

Post pictures of the pistol! Cheers, Wes

This is a good product for removing the stains and smells, not just masking
it.  It is a slow process though

Train the dog to pee on the pistol barrel. You'll get a nice deep plum brown 
that way...
