Hi Folks, Can anyone advise me how to chemically get rid of WD40 from the surface of steel in order that it can be reliably painted? I don't know whether or not this is true, but someone told me it contains duck oil and silicone, and that it is virtually impossible to remove it from the surface. Advice will be appreciated, Regards to all, Myke MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
