How do you remove the pine tar from fresh pine cones?

Question

Fix It Jen · Answer

Pine tar is crazy sticky. I'd try goo-gone and I'm guessing you'll need to scrub it a bit too. Then wash with a dish soap to remove the chemical smell and make sure it's not flammable.

Try some acetone from the hardware store. It shouldn't take but a little agitation in the pure acetone (a gallon is about $12-$14) for the goo to come off then have another soapy bath and then a rinse bath for your cones. It is the same thing as fingernail police remover. I'm not positive about this, but I have used this to get other tar-like goo off.
