I've been drilling pine driftwood using several bit sizes up to 2" for votive holders. The sticky sap is now stuck to the bits. What's the best solution to clean them in?

Goo gone or soak them in gasoline
Acetone or rubbing alcohol
Try using some hand sanitizer if you have it on hand. If not try rubbing alcohol. If you dip the bits into hot water first it may soften the sap a bit for you as well.
I would soak them in some hand sanitizer or alcohol. I remove the sap form my cars using hand sanitizer
How about goo gone
Try WD40.
Soak in Simple Green cleaner, some guys use oven cleaner.
Turpentine...but I would try the hand sanitizer first...good idea.
Cooking oil takes sap right off.
soak them in some coke-cola
Wow! I'm going to start with the cooking oil and work through your suggestions until they come clean. Thanks so much!
