REMOVING TAR FROM FENDERS

Post by Chris Scheck »

Just back from a week on Ragtime to Block Island and the Vineyard. Working life really stinks. What's the best way to clean tar off inflatable fenders? I know from experience that acetone doesn't work.

I have used softscrub with bleach successfully. Takes off Florida mold quite well also...

Mineral Spirits (paint thinner)will remove the tar and not damage the fender.
