    The Wonko/Acetone method does work well. I skip the alcohol part though. Not sure why that's recommended.

    I've found the soak is not as important as getting it warm after the soak. That's what drives the oil out. And, it may take many cycles.

    It's worth mentioning again. Acetone is relatively safe. However, it's extremely volatile and very flammable. Be safe.
