The wife and I spent last weekend hanging in Trego, Wi sharing my WB super fly. Had to hang under some very sappy red pines after a rain shower. Any suggestions about cleaning my tarp?

If it has the little speckles of sap I have just used some hot soapy water, I use dawn dish soap. I used a car wash brush to do the scrubbing. If you have large globs of sap I have used hand sanitizer and my finger, use the sanitizer that is 100% alcohol.

Mineral oil will help get sap off BUT I'm not sure what it does to sil-nylon.
I would suggest contacting Brandon at Warbonnet for his recommendation.

Let us know what works
