straight talk about wood finishing

Q: What product can you suggest to remove hempseed oil and beeswax from a table top?
A: That depends on how long the hempseed oil was on, and whether or not it was mixed with beeswax or merely applied prior to it. If it was not on long, or if it was mixed with wax, you will probably be able to remove it with naphtha or mineral spirits. Otherwise, you might need to resort to a solvent mixture generally called “refinisher” on the label. Either way, scrub with fine nylon abrasive pads and the appropriate solvent, work in a ventilated area and wear gloves for this job.
