Says grease cutting dish soap or penutbutter helps break the sap down. Dont know if it works just looked it up. Hope it helps 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird 9,594 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,759 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,603 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Would think proper Turpentine as I think that is made from distilled tree resin. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
