Re: Tar
Have you been at them tar bubbles again Grego?
Wouldn't have a clue how to remove tar. I can't see it being water based, so it's probably oil based. There's probably a stain devil or similar available to remove it. Is there nothing in Kim and Aggie's new book?

Re: Tar
Washable Items.
Scrape off as much as you can, soften with a little glycerine, then remove the rest with eucalyptus oil. Working from the back of the fabric. small marks can often be removed with a dry cleaning solvent. Finally wash in the hottest possible temperature that the fabric will stand. Any stain that remains can usually be removed with a paint brush solvent. Hope that helps grego.

Re: Tar
The best thing to do is cut out the offending piece of tar-stained cloth & then saw on a patch, preferably with some matching material but otherwise use anything else.
