What do you use to get an oil-based, tinted wood sealant out of a white cotton shirt?

Question

I had gotten honey gold tinted wood sealant on my white cotton t-shirt. I washed it after pre-treating it with laundry detergent and it all still there.

Answer 1

you must use paint thinner as soon as possible. after it is dry is to late.
1. start with clean cloth. soak part of it in thinner, then apply on spot. wipe gently, keeping area wet with thinner. repeat until spot is removed.
2. soap and water to remove thinner.

i have removed much worse . a quart of oil base paint in floorboard of my car. about 3 hours of constant work with thinner approx. 11/2 gallons

Answer 2

Two things: light a match to it, then go to the store and get a new one. Now, you might try, if it is positioned well, to put something over it. My mother did that to a shirt of her friend because she had this sewing machine that did embroidery patterns. She just sewed some flowers here and there, including one there where the stain was. Or you might get in the habit of draping a scarf so that something of it was always over the spot. Sorry.

Answer 3

Scissors!

nothing-you get a new shirt. it will not come out. I work in a paint store, and i have ruined many shirts with paints/stains/etc. i have tried everything i could think of, nothing works.
