Tree Sap

[gnasher16 29,649]

Last time i had dogs i lived in a concrete jungle so havent really experienced this before.....how do you get this sticky nasty shit out of a dogs coat ?

Ive tried washing it and leaving it to go on its own but beyond cutting all my trees down is there some sort of countrymans concoction anyone could advise ?

Quick look on google. Says grease cutting dish soap or penutbutter helps break the sap down. Dont know if it works just looked it up. Hope it helps

Cant help you with the cure but the cause will more than likely be a conifer so if you only have one or two get them gone most tree saps are like water but pine sap is a different kettle of fish, good for making fire,glue and repairing a hole in your canoe

You see ?

The black man does have foresight, now you know what peanut butter is really all about

Fairy up liquid and bit washing powder mixed rub it in give it a good scrub then brush out with dog brush and quick swill of water , or  big wipes from screw fix , £11 a tub fetches anything off and non toxic

Read one of your Stratton books pal, plenty of useful info in them.

 A easier option gnash, would be to cover the trunk of the trees, go to any garden center and tell you want to cover the trees. They give you either  somthing to wrap around, or easier still a paint to cover all bark etc, think it white gnash

Blow lamp and a stiff wire brush !

White dogs always show up the dirt, fairy liquid and some sugar will shift it

Only ever had to deal with resin pockets in softwood bought from Wickes, but white spirit always cleaned it away from both wood and hands.

Would think proper Turpentine as I think that is made from distilled tree resin.

Have you tried talcom powder,the bird catchers of old would remover the lime they used to stick up the birds wings with it and they made the lime from holly sap..

I was cutting back a load of trees last week and my arms were covered in the stuff, swarfega did the job this time but normally thinners cleans anything or some turps mate.

If it is any help my Mam always reckoned a boil wash would remove anything.
