    Tree sap cleaning

    I know there is probably more then one right answer to this question, but just wondering what others are doing. How is everyone getting tree sap off of their tarps? I have read online from mineral spirits, rubbing alcohol, goo gone, freezing it and even peanut butter. I would assume most of these would require to waterproof affected area, but I don't know for sure. I have also read dust it with baby powder or talc so it doesn't stick and leave it on there.

    Here's a few past threads on the topic that might be of help. Mostly recommendations for what you've already read.

    Look at the url on that Google page, in the search box, that's exactly how you do it. There are some sites I go to that's the only way to get a decent search result.

    Thanks for the Google tip! Backpacker magazine just had an article about tree sap removal also.
