How to remove Danish oil from laminate work surface

Oil the whole lot!

Do the rest to match the patch ;-)

Unfortunately it's a black laminate work surface so an oiled finish isn't really the right thing (I'm surprised that it didn't just wipe off TBH). The work top is heading towards end of life but I expect we'll move before needing to replace it again. You might have the bones of a good suggestion though - I'll try rubbing it with more Danish oil.

Sadly, that's not really appropriate for laminate

Maybe even (whisper it) WD40?

Rub it with their bacon? Actually you don't say what laminate type it is. I don't think Danish Oil is a solvent so it should not have soaked in. I think somebody on this list a couple of years ago reckoned that some label glue remover that CPC sold did this trick quite well, but needed several goes. It was a long time ago though so for all we know it could be a banned substance by now! Brian

Petrol? Turpentine substitute? Cellulose thinners?

I was going to suggest label remover too.

Won't mention the usual last resort :-)

Brown paper over stain and a warm iron ???.. Old army uniform trick apparently.

I get unwanted lumps of stuff like superglue from lacquered surfaces with an old-fashioned safety razor blade. You have to get the blade angle exactly right then it slips over the surface you are trying to protect then slices through the material you are trying to remove. Is that any help?

Nick (You might wonder what superglue is doing on a lacquered surface anyway. It's an old dodge for dealing with chips and dents in electric guitar finishes: fill the chip with superglue, level it to the surrounding surface, polish the lot up and if you've done it right the damage "disappears.")

Have you found anything that works? I've done quite a bit of googling, and have so far tried some Bar Keepers Friend. It seems to have helped a bit, and I'm going to have another go tomorrow...
