Wonko,

It's sometimes a matter of time. I had to soak a KED stock for over a month to get the oil out. I'm wondering about processes that could shorten that time, not eliminate the soak.

Keith,

I tried alcohol when I steamed some dents last time, it does work well.

I was joking about the vacuum sealer, but now I'm wondering if one of those clothes storage bags, with a stock packed in some type of absorbent and the air vacuumed out would work? I have no idea.

Has anyone used the powdered Joint Compound normally used for Drywall as an absorbent? It's easy to buy that stuff at any hardware store, and it's finer-grained than Kitty Litter.

My Grandfather and my Great-Uncles used to sit around on the Farm and straighten nails. They were the square sided type used for horseshoes.

Regards
Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
