Guys I have my tank leak on my UCANDO3D and a small amount of fuel soaked intot he wood. I noticed as it was wet under the cowl and I pulled the tank at home and the foam I have around it soaked up almost all of it, but some soaked into the side of the fuse as I can see it through the monokote.
Does anyone have an techniques to removing oil. I have used KLR Spot remover before. It is desigend for clothes like ties, drecc clothes and any clothes I guess. It dries as a white powder and pulls the oil out. I will use it as it removes some from wood, but wanted to know if anyone has a better way. Ideas??? This is what having a YS 110 and not sealing tha tank with silicon does to you. The tank won't leak for a while but this was the first flight with this plane this year.
Although I haven't used it myself, I've heard that cornstarch is good for pulling the fuel & oil out of wood.
