Oil stains are difficult to remove from paper, but covering the stain with cornmeal or talcum powder can help lift some of the oil. Allow the powder to absorb for thirty minutes, and then brush the cornmeal or talcum off until there's no powder residue.

Can you apply an polyacrylic water base finish to an oil base stain?

I am doing that right now. It says on the can that it can be applied over an oil based stain...but the stain may continue to "amber" under the coating. I decided to go with the polyacrylic because a friend told me that polyurethane yellows over time. I don't know if that is true...but that is what I decided to do. So far, the acrylic is going over and drying over the oil based stain without any problems.


Remove wood stain from ceramic tile?

AnswerIf it's a hard, smooth glazed finish, you should be able to remove it with whatever it says on the stain can to thin or clean up with. Probably mineral spirits.If it has a more porous or pitted surface, you can probably forget it.PhilI found this solution completely by accident after spilling 8 oz of red mahogany stain on while tile/grout walls etc.. after cursing like crazy and googeling-- which I found nothing except how to remove stain off of hands-- Olive Oil. Works absolutely wonderfully, I wiped up as much as I could with paper toweling, dumped olive oil on the floor and started wiping (while still cursing). Stain came off of everything including the white walls. Then I used really hot water and dawn dish soap to get off of oil. Good Luck!!
