!@#$%^&*()*^&%#$%^%^!!!!!
Its happened to all of us. That stray mark right in the middle of a project. This is the top, a yoke for a pair of leggings. See that dark streak right in the middle? Buffing compound. I'd just buffed the edge on my roundknife to cut these out and must of got a little bit on my hand. !@#$%^%$#@!!!
What to do? We've all had some grunge or dirt get on a project. To the rescue:
Bought a gallon of this stuff years ago for like $10 at the Depot. Little bit on a paper towel and then rinse with clear water on a second paper towel and poof gone.
Saved that piece of leather. Oxacallic acid has been used for years to clean leather. However, its pretty dangerous stuff and is getting more and more difficut to find. Honestly this stuff has some in it and it seems to work better than the straight Oxacallic acid soulution anyways.
