Would that be Canadian bacon fat or regular bacon fat?
Bacon fat burns, so you can hold a match or lighter up to it. Canadian bacon is really just ham (not as much fat content) so you may need a propane torch to get it to burn off. That should take care of the problem.
Or put it on the floor and let your dogs lick it off.
Glad to be of help.
If that doesn't work, lighter fluid wiped on the fretboard should help.
Needing some lube on the fret board and strings for band practice that night and having left my can of finger ease spray elsewhere, I perused the immediately available lubricants and, well, bacon fat is good for a bunch of other stuff, so I dabbed some on there and it worked fine. Only now, a few days later, my fret board is starting to stink.
seriously, animal fat is hard to get out of anything and definitely stinks when it goes rancid - how bout aiming a heat gun or hair dryer at the fretboard to melt the fat then absorb it into paper towels? dont get too hot or the frets will release but hey, that just may be best anyhow then you can sand the whole thing and re-fret it.
