I have tried this before with no luck. The more I tried the more it spread since you have to melt it down with either a heat gun or stripper but I could not draw it up before it would set again. I like to hear what Dr. Fred would do if anything.Good luck, Bill SelikGourmet Stone CareOn Monday, January 9, 2017 1:51 PM, Pat Staples <cpstaples@msn.com> wrote:
It looks like limestone so it going to be very porous. Me personally I would get them to clean it with some dish soap and water and see how that works . Getting it all out it's going to take a lot of work. If the dish soap don't work I would start off cleaning it with a wax and grease remover and see how much comes out and then they may have to do some poulticing also. Poulticing can also be done with dish soap and water because dish soap will remove wax and grease. Remember when mixing the poultice put it into a peanut butter consistency and since it is on a fireplace they could tape a piece of cardboard underneath while applying the poultice and then cover it with Saran Wrap. Tell them not to be alarmed if this stain gets bigger. Since it is limestone the moisture will wick outwards.
