Cleanting Anti corrosive compound from Jointer
Hi Guys,
I've just picked up a 6" Jointer and was wondering what the best product for cleaning the top is? I've tried Metho but it tended to make the compound go extremely tacky and cause the rag to stick.
Cheers,
Evan

You might also try a fine steel wool with the kero. (000 or 0000) This makes the job a little bit easier. Then clean up with a rag, spray lanoguard and hey, presto - new machine...

Supercheap Auto have a similar product which I use, can't remember the name at the moment and it's pouring rain so I'm not going down the shed to find out, sorry. Originally Posted by Tex79
