How do you remove pine tar from a bat?!?!

[flapjaxx]

Received a bat in trade recently, and there is a crazy amount of pinetar all over the bat. Anyone know how i can remove it?

I think I've heard WD-40 works. I've used goo-gone but that took a little while.

 

[jrockdog]

I've used goo gone when changing grips. Not sure whats safe to use on painted portions.

Spray starter fluid. seriously. Or krud cutter. Goo gone xtreme works as good as starter fluid spray but will take the clear coat off your bat so beware.

 

[flapjaxx]

Ok, i will try the spray starter fluid first. Do I leave on a bit, or scrub immediately?! Thanks for the help guys

Use goo gone and a little elbow grease.why use something that will take the clear coat off the bat.

wd-40...it removes stickers and vinyl wraps...it works great. way better than all the other stuff listed above.

i got a bat like this, i just used amonia and a magic eracer, took a bit, but worked great.

Sandpaper

Nail polish remover and a rag works great.....Might upset the wife a little when she needs it and its gone I just act like I don't know what she is talking about lol

...doesn't that eat into the clearcoat/graphics if not washed off quickly?

I use WD-40 to remove the tar, then wash with dishwashing soap to remove the WD-40.

 

[flapjaxx]

thanks guys....lots of info here. Thinking wd-40 maybe the trick

Pine-Sol????

 

[bomb_dropper]

Goo Gone, or in a pinch, lighter fluid. Anything that's mostly kerosene.

You don't want to use acetone/paint remover/nail polish remover because it's too aggressive.

 

[kong17]

Yup

Sandpaper

Actually, I do use sandpaper with running water. No scratches at all.

Yes but if she's in a mood that night and nagging you about it, you can say that you'll go out and get it for her. That way you're out of the house, take your time buddy!

Times 10, This BS, I'd out the guy in the feed back section. should have cleaned that S*** off b4 selling or at the VERY LEAST should have told you it had pine ass tar on it. What a Douche bag

 

[msoares2123]

wd-40 or goo gone. put it on thick and let it sit. then it rubs right off.

 

[Iknight1]

I like sandpaper the best haha

 

[bigdaddystroker]

A green scrub pad dishsoap and really hot water with some elbow grease and it'll all come off .

[pnpxtreme]

orbital sander works great. make sure you use 50 grit tho...

 

[second2noone]

I am just curious, did the person you traded with tell you they were sending a bat with pine tar on it?

 

[Wolfynuts24]

find mean green general purpose cleaner and a decent scrub pad, or zippo fluid if you cant find a good GP cleaner.
