Removing/preventing scorch marks on wood?

[Mike Null]

Though I try to avoid engraving unfinished wood I've found that using a household cleaner such as Pinesol mixed with water will generally remove the residue without leaving marks. I use a rag and a blotter type cleaning rather than rubbing.

Try this guys, I use it all the time and it works great. Go to auto parts place and buy a container of Fast Orange hand cleaner. It is safe, water soluable, smells good and does a fantastic job of removing residue.
