Last winter I stored my wings, leading edge down, leaning against an old
car in a storage garage. Unfortunately the automatic transmission
leaked oil onto the floor and it soaked into about three feet of the
leading edge and up two or three ribs to the spar. I have not yet
applied the plywood leading edge cover. I am seeking advice for
removing the oil so that T-88 will adhere to the wood. Any
suggestions?

Hi Ralph
If I had that problem I would try wiping it off with clean rags and acetone
3 or four times. It is extremely flammable so watch out if you have an op
en flame anywhere such as a gas hotwater heater.

When I used to build a lot of radio controled planes it was common to
sometimes get balsa soaked with fuel or exhaust which contained castor or
synthetic oil. We used to use a product called K2R which is used for stain
removal from fabrics, carpet, etc. You can buy it from grocery stores,
probably Wal Mart, etc. I have not tried it on harder woods yet, but I have
some plywood and spruce that oil spilled on recently that I need to clean
myself the next time I get to the store and buy some.
Here is a link so you know what it looks like.

Hi Ralph,
Been a long time since I posted, but I can speak to this. MEK is
even better than acetone as a solvent for removing oil, but you must
do it where there is great ventilation - I prefer to work with MEK
outside if at all. Apply a heavy 'dose' the first time - enough so
its dripping, then wipe down 3-4 times with a well-saturated rag.
If you had the capability, it would even be better if you could
fashion some sort of a trough and actually soak the oil out of the
wood through 3-4 changes of MEK.
Good luck!

Hi all,
Can anyone share with me the best order of assembling the center
section? I have learned it's best not to cap the end ribs with the ply.
Wishing everyone the best Holiday!
