Cool,did you leave the butter on the rope for a while then chuck it into the was?

As far as I remember from far back then in scool this should work as butter (fat) should work as dissolvent for the resin. BUT I would never smear my rope with butter anyway :)

I would assume washing should work good enough and you would need to wash the butter mess anyway :D

From what ive read butter does remove sap/resin but then you have to use mayonnaise to remove the butter, marmite to break up the mayonnaise, freeze the lot to -20oC then wack it with a hammer to shatter the marmite:thumbup1:

 

Easy peasy.

 

Fook me I would be eatin it after al that .:001_tt2:
