At this point we were told to heel the oil dry into the concrete. By this they meant grind it into the floor with the heels of our boots. Well the floor was one entire oil stain before we started and when we finished sweeping the last of the oil dry up, the floor looked almost new.
    Over the years I used this method to amaze friends and coworkers.
    Where do you find the 700 seabees for that technique?

    Seeing 700 seabees grinding their heels in your garage would amaze anyone.

    Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.

    Well 700 is what was too showed up for a rapid runway project. the CO was trying to set a record,well it started to rain and the CO decided to wait for better weather to set his record. I am sure at least a 1/3 of us ran off; well anyone above a first class. and 700 is or was a full compliment, if we were at that or not I'm not positive. but there were a lot of guys shaking our hips and twisting our feet, and of course, smoking cigarettes. It makes me smile every time I think about it.

    Do the geese need to float on water or perhaps just laden with coconuts ?

    There are a lot of good ideas here... mostly it will just take time. I did successfully remove a significant amount of power steering fluid with benzine and dishwasher detergent.
