How to remove dried teak oil

[IH82BL8]

Early last year I oiled all of my interior teak--6 coats. I proceeded on the mistaken assumption that I could clean up the drips later. Wrong. This stuff is tenacious. So I tried various solvents to remove it and finally found one that works.

I applied liberally to keep the surface wet and allow the solvent to work. I used terry cloth and elbow grease and patience. Resist the urge to use a Scotch pad, it will scuff the gelcoat.

Also, this solvent will not damage most plastics (test it first).

BTW, not available in some states. I bought mine at an autobody supply store in Virginia.

Ok, my pics uploaded in reverse order, but you get the idea.

Wonder if "Debond" would do it..

Don't use acetone (if that was a consideration) on any plexiglass/Lexan materials.
