    Cleaning table

    What is the best way to clean all the residue off the honeycomb table? I have tried Simple Green and paper towels, but that doesn't seem to be the way. My wife will freak out again if I try to use the bathtub for it or burn it clean in the oven. She is barely over when I used her "best" pot for dewaxing all sorts of wood blanks.

    KrudKutter and a pressure washer work really well. I think it was Mike Null that suggested KrudKutter to me. I found it in a gallon can at Home Depot.

    Second on the KK recommendation. Be careful with the power washer that you don't get too close as you can bend the fins over.

    the KrudKutter is fine, but you don't need the pressure washer...

    I just use a garden hose with KK.

    Don't even think about putting it in the oven.

    My oven isn't that big!

    KrudKutter - spray on, let sit and it rinses right off. If you really want to, use a brush on it, but most of the stuff will just dissolve.

    Will it fit in a dishwasher? They do a great job of cleaning cosmoline off old gunstocks, and the hot water even raises any dents in the wood..
    Shhhhh..keep it quiet... my wife is approaching
    Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore


    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

    A fifty five gallon drum with gasoline will remove cosmoline quickly, but at todays prices, the dishwasher might not be a bad idea(I'll tell my wife you told me to do it).

    The Krud Kutter and a hose worked miracles on this table. Thanks for the tips.

  11. Never heard of Krud Kutter, guess I will have to try that next time. I used Industrial Strength Purple Zep. There's an article from Epilog on cleaning vector grids that you can read here: http://www.epiloglaser.com/tl_clean_vector_grid.htm
