I keep a container of cornstarch right next to my longarm. If you get it on there quickly enough, it will usually take are of the stain pretty effectively.

I haven't had to find lestoil in years. I still have some, but I used to find it in any grocery store. I think I might look on line.

Yes you can still buy Lestoil. I did find it at drugstore.com $5.39 for 28 ounces. It can still be found at some hardware and grocery stores. I also read that the cornstarch and dawn is also good ways to remove the oil. Apply the cornstarch 1st then after that if you still need to appy the dawn and rinse then air dry.
