Lam clean up ?

[Mark R]

I've always used denatured alcohol and never had a problem. I've heard that acetone can draw out the oils in wood, not sure about glass or carbon.

I used the denatured stuff and add color to stain Aboo so it wont bother adhesion. Never tried it on an oily wood. My guess is that if you remove surface oil more will come up.

I used denatured alcohol too for a long time with no problems.  I used acetone because it seemed to evaporate faster but if it leaves H20 behind that might take hours to clear out.

I'm going back to alcohol AND will let them dry over night.

We use acetone at work on a regular basis. We use it to evaporate water as it mixes readily with water and evaporates much quicker than alcohol.

I’m not sure how the oils in woods are effected by either one.

I have read online that acetone is the way to go.  Interesting post.

I just use a stiff brush to clean off any dust and never had any problems.

I use acetone on all surfaces wood and glass ...always . Use a clean cotton cloth and look what comes off the glass and wood . Acetone does not bring out the oils it washes them off .  Bringing up the oil was  what  OL said on one of these sites once and everybody repeated it . You need to clean everything and keep things clean as you glue every part should be laid out on clean white paper and washed before  gluing .
 I think you are having another problem with the delam other than acetone.

If oily woods delam on you it most likely the MC is too high. Still not using chemicals on wood parts.
