the car option is doable, though given it's winter over here, I'm not sure how much good it will do in terms of the heat needed and so on. That said, i do have fairly large windows I can open up if need by while cleaning it and so on.If you can put it out in a car or SUV with blankets and a tarp or something, you can melt it right out of it. If you can't, you pretty much have to take it all apart and clean it using mineral spirits, though, you need a well-ventilated area for that because of fumes. So not very friendly to living in a small apartment unless family or a friend has space they can let you do that in.
Do the mineral sprites help with both metal and wood or just wood? Also, I heard some somewhere just sticking the metal bits in hot water can get the cosmoline off too; does anyone know how true this is?
