Aarrgghh!! Pitch

[kirkster5]

Does anyone know a product that removes pitch from fiberglass?

Acetone will take it off. Stay clear of plastic and vinyl and you'll be fine.

You might try a "Mr Eraser" first... If it doesn't work for the pitch/fiberglass problem you can use them on everything else on the boat, can't keep enough of them onboard. Found in the cleaning product section of any store...

I've found that really hot water will also lift pitch. Boil some water and stick a corner of a rag into it and let it sit on the pitch for a few minutes. It should wipe right off. Also you can try an ice cube on it and it should also chip off with your thumb or finger nail.
Both are environmently friendly. Except of course for the energy it takes to heat or freeze the water. ;)

Acetone or a fgood Citrus cleaner with make quick work of it too.

Also, this stuff works well on my truck.
