I'll never learn. I was wearing my new shirt when applying tung oil on a wooden box mounted on the lathe. Then too late some of it went on my new shirt. ;--(( The probabilities of removing the stain is remote. However, some of you may have a magic way of removing it. Any help or comments would be appreciated.

I suggest you use the shirt as your "new" finishing shirt, and buy a newer shirt for more formal occasions!*G*
Well, does this means that I lost my shirt applying finishes on woodturning! ;--))
Well, since I have been told that LDD use is only effective in anecdotal situations, I have been so crushed that I didn't dare raise Denis' hopes. Anecdotally speaking (ahem!), I can only advise that it does work for taking tung oil out of tuxedos ("smoking" en français); however, that was only one time and I have not turned formally since!*G*
Not yet, Denis! Idiomatically speaking that will only occur if you persist in wearing new shirts in the finishing process! *G*
Dennis, you might consider doing the whole shirt in tung oil, and wearing it as rain gear.
Knowing that before rubber was utilized for rain gear wax was used over oil treated cloth. Tung oil may not be a bad idea. Gorilla glue could be used to seal the seams. Too bad I had to lose my shirt during the learning process. ;-)
You turn in a tuxedo? Blimey, I'm dead impressed!
I once turned in a chenille jumper. Then I found out just how tenaciously wood shavings can cling to fabric!

====>Hmmmh? Giles are you referring to a sleeveless dress worn over a blouse or sweater or a pullover sweater. As to the tuxedo, I was referring to it anecdotally speaking, therefore, it may or may not be true since I didn't do a scientific study of it.*G*

Now I have graduated for tung oil stains to Gorilla glue. The old rag shirt I wore most of the time is immune against stains. Every-time I wear a new shirt it becomes stained. So I concluded that to avoid stains is to wear my old rag shirt. ;--) BTW to remove dried tung oil from eyes' glasses or shield the best way is to use alcohol swabs or simply rubbing alcohol known as Isopropyl because it contains a very small quantity of oil.

For Leif and all true believers, Strummed to the tune of an old 1960's protest song:
*********************************************** "How many quarts of LDD must be used before the uncracked wood isn't antidotal? How many gallons of water must be boiled before all the cracked wood has gone? How many fifths of alcohol must be poured before all the wood is dry? How many microwaves must be scorched before the wood is done? How many blanks must be lost before we understand? .......The answer, my friend, is not blowing on the wind but on our blown up bowls."(Someone, somehow will disagree and that's no antidote) :)
