My treestands end up in White Pine and Spruce often. Any one know a trick to removing the pitch from steps, stand, etc.?
Turpentine
Yep, WD-40 and a rag.
Thanks guys
Alcohol will work also.
Rub real butter onto it then wash hands
Barbeque briquette fluid works excellent without any greasy residue butter, margarine, or WD-40 leaves behind.... no smell either.
Oil dissolves pine resin. I dissolve pine resin in oil to make ointments.
If I get it on my hands I just wash my hands with the wife's olive or veggy oil, then wash the oil off with regular soap. Works a charm.
What kind of ointments? I have over a cup of pure pine pitch
Lestoil or Baby Oil.
Wealth of knowledge here..thanks again
Coleman fuel, white gas, ect...

Google pine salve or pine pitch salve. I also use it in a lanolin based rash cream I make for our kids. I also use it to make a leather conditioner similar to montana pitch blend, but I make mine a with a little more wax. Or sometimes I just buy montana and melt it and add some wax if I'm feeling lazy...
