Default drying out fuel soaked balsa

I recently ditched my dragon lady 90, damage wasn't too bad, undercart mounting ripped out and tailplane broke off. I thouhg I would take the opportunity to recover it, but there was so much oil saturated wood where it has been soaked right thru, it has been quicker and easier to build a new fusalage.

That way I don't need to worry about the structural integrity either, which was definitely looking dodgy!

PS Anybody find a 'K2R' equivilent in the UK?
