De greasing/De-oiling old rifle stocks?

[abunaitoo]

I kind of remember reading someplace about using a hot plate, metal vent ducting and a metal pan with a flat bottom.
The metal duct needs to be wide enough to fit the stock with the length, plus one foot extra, in length.
Hang the stock in the duct three inched from the top. Cover with foil or another metal pan.
Place the pan on the hot plate, put the duct in the pan.
Turn it on and check often.
The oil will start to run/drip off the stock.
There's probably more to it. I don't remember where I read it.
Sounds like it would work.
Probably work just as well, if left in the sun without the hotplate.
I wonder if you boil a pot of water on the bottom, would the steam remove the oil/grease????

Keep oven cleaner off metal parts if if don't want to strip any finish off of them.

I do mine in the summer. lay the stock on the tin roof in the sun. about every hour wipe the oil off that has sweated out.

I have tried all the listed treatments as listed above, and have resorted to using the wife's dishwasher! Luckily most of my stocks are two piece, and the cycle of washing not only cleans the oils out, but also steams out almost all the dents. Unorthodox, yes, effective and irregular yes.

This is the proper way to remove oil from wood.

I second and can vouch for this product.
