Pine sap removal?

Anyone remember the Simpsons episode where Lisa got gum in her hair? I think every single one of the solutions listed above came up for trying to get it out, and it ended up being a layered hat of peanut butter/mayo/butter/etc. Not saying that would happen! Just a funny similarity for cartoon nuts like me...
 
Pine-Sol type cleaners worked best for me. I use a lot of pitch for projects, and ALWAYS seem tomake a mess.
 
OK, who's gonna volunteer to roll around in some pitch, try all the remedies listed above and do a review/comparison? :D
 
Sounded like a pretty good way to carry your tinder. Rub head on tree to collect sap then cut hair and use as needed.
 
I have to wonder about any girl that goes around butting her head into pine trees. :D Was she using any unusual "substances" at the time? :eek:
 
Fonly maybe we could sell tickets to cover the costs :D I'll provide a bag of feathers for ya ;)
 
While we are about it, what about pine sap on the car's bodywork? I have a large and beautiful Larch tree in the garden but its gum is terrible on the car, leaves marks and WILL NOT come off!!!

I would think all the remedies would work, but some of them might not be good for the paint, that's what you're getting at right? I'd start with the least harsh ones first and see what works. Goo-gone, Fast Orange, Go-JO etc (without pumice!) seems a safe bet.

Or just park your car somewhere else :D
 
turps will not hurt human hair as long as you are not smoking while doing it. many years of working with green logs taught me that..

as far as the car hood, there are solvents out there that will cut the sap and leave the finish fine. there is some road tar remover stuff that is pretty good and deemed safe for autopaints.


A clay bar will also remove it. But that is a bit of a chore so I would try the tar remover first.
