GG's: I want to share an unexpected success in cleaning an oilstone. The
"patient" was an unusually greasy but unworn fine/medium India
combination stone. The goo had resisted waterless hand cleaner=2C the
Galoots standard approach to this problem. Acrylic Enamel Reducer=2C an
automobile body painting supply item=2C applied to a coarse paper towel
did a GREAT job of removing the grease. It left the manufacturer's
printed markings intact. A few minutes and the stone was totally
cleaned. Just be sure to wear gloves and do this outdoors=2C for obvious
reasons. John Ruth
