>>>> There is a magic way to remove pine oil
Many consumers often encounter pine oil (rosin) remaining in the pine wood or seeping out of the surface during the use of pine furniture, which not only makes it difficult to paint, but also affects the appearance and use effect. If you want to remove the pine oil in the pine wood, you can use the following methods:
1. Alkali washing method
Use an 8%-10% aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (edible alkaline noodles) or a 4%-6% caustic soda solution to clean the parts of the pine wood with pine oil to saponify the pine oil (the oil and alkali react to become soap and glycerin), and then use a sponge or brush dipped in hot water (40-50℃) to scrub and rinse.
2. Rinse method
Add 20 grams of bleaching powder to 0.5 kilograms of warm water and dissolve it. Use this solution to repeatedly apply to the parts of the pine wood with pine oil until it turns slightly white, then rinse with water.
3. Eradication method
For areas where pine oil seeps out more, you can use a shovel to remove the area and then smooth it with mud. Regardless of which method is used, it is necessary to wipe it with ethanol (alcohol) or apply a layer of shellac varnish to prevent the pine oil that has not been completely removed from the pine wood from seeping out and affecting the paint film.
4. Dissolution method
Dissolve it with 25% acetone aqueous solution, and scrub it with a mixture of 20% acetone aqueous solution and a small amount of alkali.
