They are only wives tales if they don't work. If we would look back a few months we will see that on this a number of posts have been made concerning removing blush with cigar ash, mayonnaise, and peanut butter, and most of them were made buy the most prolific poster of all, Jim Cole. You will also notice that no one comes back to say the method failed. I have known for some time about tobacco ashes as a fine polish, the material has been used for hundreds of years as a polish. Ash is almost the same as Rotten Stone just finer. My wife tells me they use it in Beauty Salons to remove dye from skin with out damage or redness, it's so gentle. Any surface blemish can then be removed from a finish the same way with a little paint thinner or rubbing oil and tobacco ashes. As for the mayonnaise and peanut butter, I had my doubts on that for some time, and at the least it just seems strange. Several weeks ago I ran into the worst blush I ever saw, on lacquer, and after using a dozen trys the blush remover still wasn't working. Out of desperation I tried the mayonnaise, and it worked. Today I created a heavy blush on a shellac finish and tried the mayonnaise and peanut butter, they both worked. Wives Tale Proven, until we try these methods we can't know weather they are myths or not. My whole point is that we have perfectly good solutions in our kitchens for some of our work shop problems. Why inhale a bunch of expensive chemicals because we can't stand the idea of smearing food on our furniture? It's all organic, where does all this stuff come from any way? It's all from some plant, animal, or the ground, so what if it also comes from the fridge?
