G'Day!
I've searched for this and found how to remove it off caravans, but my problem is that it's on my tent. I called the local camping
shop and it was suggested that I try hot water.
I'm a bit concerned that hot water (as in kettle hot) may melt the tent fabric? My tent is not canvas; it's that tenty-nylony-type stuff (huh?)
It's also been 5 months since the tree sap was put there so time may have compounded the problem.
Anyone got any ideas for me to try?
Thanks!

What are you doing camping under trees ? ( how else would sap get on your tent ?
This causes a dangerous precedent,, as there are people killed every year, by doing exactly that.... branches just drop any time
Please be carefull ! ........pick your camping spot a little better, and all that could mean is, moving your tent another 10-20 meters to the side.
Cheers

Gee, sorry Bucky, I thought I asked for some advice; not to be reprimanded for HAVING to
camp under a tree that you have no idea about!
