I have a Japaneseicon Type 38 that has an oil-soaked stock. I washed it in Murphys Oil Soap and about 20% of the finish came off! The stock is stained a dark color on the inside from the oil that has been soaking into it for 80+ years. The oil needs to be removed from the stock so that the cracks can be glued. I don't want these cracks to spread. How does one remove oil from a stock without damaging a finish that is known to be somewhat delicate?
