Re: Tips On Removing Oil Based Stain From Hinges
Pour some ammonia in a cup (old magarine container), put it in a hefty back with the hinges (OUTSIDE), close the bag, check in a few hours up to 24 hours and you'll have bare hinges, re-paint or spray with a clear finish before rust sets in. Could use a wire brush or try a paint remover.

Re: Tips On Removing Oil Based Stain From Hinges
Thanks for the tip but I really dont want to take them off and they are not really that bad just the h/o is a bit parnickity, just thought there might be a easy solution to it rather than taking off.
Regards D/B |

Re: Tips On Removing Oil Based Stain From Hinges
If not too bad, maybe a single edge razor?

Re: Tips On Removing Oil Based Stain From Hinges
try rubbing stain on the same spots, let it sit a little bit. See if that does it.
might be too late. |
