I subscribe to all sorts of magazines to do with wood working, from this Old House to Woodcraft, Handyman to Creative Wood works and Crafts. If I see a tip for something I know I want to try I will snip it out, write it down or mark it. The other day though, and I do mean just a couple days ago, I was reading something and I am not sure what it was, that is why I can not give credit (but I am leaning towards Handyman magazine.
I did not clip it, nor mark it. The reason? It was about stain, something I rearely use. The reason it caught my eye was because it contained "girl" stuff! Like dishwashing liquid that is a degreaser such as Dawn. A product I am a faithful buyer of. The other was vegatable oil, another product in my home.
This was the "tip or trick."
To remove stain from your hands instead of mineral spirits etc, rub your hands in vegatable oil and then wash your hands with a dishwashing soap such as Dawn. Well I could not believe it that just today I was messing around with a stain, got some on my hands, remembered what I read, and put the tip to use. It worked!!! That is all this post is about. To let you know it really works!!! I was really impressed.
