    Anyone have any actual experience removing black stains from ivory.  I think it's Minwax  pentrating stain apparently used to blacken the sharps but transferred to the ivory via fingers before it was dry.  Not so much looking for speculation (I've tested every solvent there is on a key with no luck--naptha seemed to work best but not sufficient),  So any real world experience there would be appreciated.
