I was wondering - how do you get pine tree sap off the canvas? Do you have to remove or can you just leave it on?

Thanks for any help you can give this newbie

After having our Comanche Montana severely dripped upon by a Scots pine we were then subjected to a deluge that tested the waterproofing qualities of pine resin to an extensive degree.
It works!
We left well alone, and apart from looking a little unsightly, has caused no problems.
What are other drippees' experiences?

Pick off any lumps, sponge with plain water and ignore. Sap residue is waterproof. Best not to fold up a tent canvas with runny sap in it though...it can stick to itself.

Talking about sap, we have a splodge on the plastic bedroom window of our Pathfinder, any ideas how/if it can be removed without turning the window milky.

-------------
XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Mayonnaise is a brilliant way of removing tree sap whenever it's on your hands so you could try it on your window but I'm unsure as to whether it would turn it milky. Could you give it a try on a very small area first just to see whether it turns the plastic a funny colour.
