Oil soaked balsa!
Use K2R spot remover if you can find it, baking soda or baby powder if you can't. There are other ways but at the moment I'm drawing a blank beyond those mentioned.

oil soak
Pastorjody: Go to the local hardware or a store that sells floor, laundry, household soap products and get K2r spot cleaner in an aerosol can . Cost about $3.65. Spray it on the balsa or any thing you want to de-oil. Let stand till it turns to white powder. brush it off and do it again if the oil is still visible . Bob.

Corn starch mixed with alcohol to a thin past spread over the affected area works wonders and is cheap. Works like K2 R and much less expensive. Spread on, let dry and scrape or sand off, repeat several times if necessary. If it,s a flat balsa panel and can be replaced, sometimes thats the best and least expensive method.

I use Denatured alcohol and soak the area a few times and let dry for a couple of days. Then apply two coats of Basarite and the covering will stick lick it never had fuel on it.

I plead dumb fingers. If I can blame my thumbs when I crash I am going to blame my fingers when I give typo's. Or is the nitro at work here too. :stupid:

put a good amount of acetone on the area then take a heat gun to thr area and the oil will come to the surface be sure
to wipe it off before it settles back in the wood.

i'm not sure but i think starter fluid has a certain amount of oil in it
but the idea is to bring the oil to the surface then wipe it off. if you let it set it will go back down in the wood.
