rollo Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Anyone have any tips for getting sap out of schoeller and/or nylon? Multiple river crossings on log jams this weekend took their toll.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthomp Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Rubbing alcohol takes it off skin nicely. Might work on fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fear Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Scrape as much of it off as you can, pre-treat with Tide, scrub it in. Wash on warm heavy-soil cycle...... Â You'll probably need to re-apply any DWR after this. Â -Fear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suz Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Alcohol, a climbers best friend... Â Denatured alcohol (sold as HEET gas treatment or in hardware stores) takes it out of cotton like nobody's business. Saturate the spot, then rub the fabric back and forth to loosen the sap. When you can't see the spot anymore, wet it, then rub in some soap and scrub/wash well. This takes out the alcohol and the dissolved sap along with it. Â Rubbing alcohol is only 70% alcohol, so should work, but not as quickly. Grain would work, too, but it's a little more spendy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shapp Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 The absolute best solvent for anything remotely organic in nature is white gas (coleman fuel), take a clean cotton cloth and put some gas on their then rup the fabric till the sap is out. Promptly rinse with water and soap and then was the garment per the manufactures instructions. Save the alcohol for post climbing imbibment - or alternatively don't worry about it cause if all your stuff is clean then you aint a real climber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blakej Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 beat me to the question man. That shit from this weekend is still stinking up my room. You planning on posting any kind of TR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnear Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Maybe "Goo Gone" - awesome product, found at any safeway or drug store. Smells better than alcohol or gas. Citrus based solvent addresses any "sticky" issue you might encounter. Â Also works well for cleaning and de-gumming ski/board bases prior to self-tuning and waxing.

AlpineK Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I know a thing or two about tree sap. Rub it in butter or oil. That'll get the sap off, but then you'll have to wash it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
