I still use my local Harware store when I can.
Got to be real friendly with the owner.

One day Im in there talking ot him and looking around while having a key made up and said to him
"Yanno I really hate this store"
Concerned he looked at me and asked why

so I told him

"You have all kinds of cool stuff in here I would really love to have, yet have abolutely no use for" LOL

The local store I go to the guy must be older then dust. But he has to be the nicest man in the world. It is impossible to find anything in his store. All you have to do is ask him where something is and he'll take you to it. Take the dust off. And charge you half the price.

Bj use Wd40 if ya know what it is. Its a rust penetrater and lube its works on alot of things. Most homes have them amd im sure you dad has it around the house. I use it all the time for clean up on hands from tar glue ect. GL:D

the cheapest and easiest way is to wash you hands with some sand. spend a few minutes rubbing desert or beach snad hard all over the tar and it will start to break up, then keep using the sand but add water and regular soap to clean and finish it off.

you will lose a few layers of skin from the affected body part though, and if you dont it wont work too good.

but damn dont go and buy products that cost too much and are less effective than some find dry sand or corse dry soil.

i stepped in a slap of tar on a beach in france an the stuff just spreads onto anything you tyry to wash it with, and the original patch on my foot spread out twice as big and just as dark black.

sand worked a treat.

failing that use a brilo pad or a moderate sized electric sander.

Yes sir, I know what wd40 is. I never thought of that. Makes sense. I'll try that tomorrow. Thankyou.

Batfink,
Thats the samething as lava soap. If you've never heard of it its soap with I believe pumice or sand in it. Great for getting most anything off your hands. And a layer or two of skin.

Pine-Sol and a brush. Never use gasoline for stuff like that. Its evil stuff.

When I hauled asphault I was always getting covered in the stuff. GoJo works good, so does diesel. GoJo smells better.

Agreed.
But Deisel will also bring the shine back to a dull car finish

So, how did the WD40 work? That would have been my suggestion. Sorry I am late. I have used WD40 on almost everything first. Gum remover, Stain remover, Lubricant, Rust preventer, Engine cleaner, Auto Detail restorer/beautifier, Flame accelerant, Deodorizer, Body wash, Cure for Cancer, and most important, World Peace enabler.

Great stuff.

I used it this morning. Worked real well. But I went to the store and got some Gojo. I used that after I got done today. Took off yesterdays and todays junk.
