Cleaning sticky sap

[gobbypunk]

Hi guys, so after milling some of the monkey puzzle my bar and mill are covered in very sticky sap, white spirit wouldn't touch it soap and water wouldn't touch it I don't want to just scrape it and put horrible scratches on everything so any ideas

Thanks in advance Mark

I would just stick it through some oak. Or if it's going to be a while before next use another it in bar oil and this may stop the sap setting rock hard

Was thinking that or Diesel. 

 

Maybe Isopropanol?

Rub with olive oil/veg oil or similar. Gets leylandi sap off skin so may work on this?

If that's the case then Everbuild Foam Cleaner is a convenient source about a tenner for 500ml

Very similar to Isopropanol but as Aceton is Nail Poilish remover its much cheaper than Isopropanol.

DONT put it on plastic thou, some plastics will be destroyed by acetone as aceton,s main use is for cleaning brushes and rollers in the fibber glass trade,
