Funny that you should say that, I used this method last night. I soaked in laquer thinner for a minute and heated with a hair dryer, then I wiped it and rinsed off the residue that came out to the surface. I repeated this several times and got rid of a lot of oil.

There was actually so much coming out that I'm beginning to think that some could be the natural oil in the wood. Some oily spots developed after drying overnight, but it appears to be clear and not black. I might put a coat of tung oil on and see what it looks like.

I also bought a can of Easy-Off to try on another set of grips. Can anybody give me some quick instructions on how to use this?
