Last summer during the blackout, I spilled the contents of a cintronella candel on my wood deck. I used paper towels to clean the mess, but as you can imagine the hot oil/wax seeped into the wood leaving it looking real bad. I was told to let time wear out the spill. Is there anything else that can be done short of replacing the wood planks that were affected.
Answer:
You might consider applying heat from a hair dryer to it a few minutes at a time but all that will do is accelerate the time aspect of getting rid of it.
