I put Goo Gone on Red Oak to soak off the price code tag on some Home Depot lumber. Now, the wood is soaked with Goo Gone and, since it is mineral spirits, glue won't stick to it. Even if I wait until it seems dry, I am worried the glue won't adhere properly.
Any way I can get that oily Goo Gone residue out of my lumber?
Ouch! The red oak at the HD here is asking about $7.50/bf.
I believe Goo Gone has some nonvolatile oils in it besides anything like mineral spirits. The MS will evaporate but it'll take some time of the other oils to go away. I'd try wiping with alcohol/laquer thinner/acetone to clean the oils out.
