Great find Hughie!

So simple! Now I can actually use it on the jobs I've been wanting to use it on but was always too worried about getting rid of the marks

Metho will work too.

So will turps.I just zap it in the microwave checking every 30 sec.Max time is about 90secs.Depends on the size of the piece. Don't leave it longer than necessary or it may start to smoulder then clean off the residue while it is still soft , first with a flat chisel then turps.

top stuff, all good tips, i'll definatly use it a lot more now, i was scared of the day when my turnings might contain a nail and secretly blowing up the wifes microwave (only method i knew of). consider me helped for 1 and i guess the missus too by default (lol).

Brilliant solution (all of them) but I'd better make sure it's not the bottle I mixed with Orange Juice!

Wow, not only is this a good tip, but I now know I need to be careful using alcohol to clean oil off the wood if I glued the wood down with hot melt!
Thanks for the tip!
