Can this be used to remove hardened tree sap?

The information on the box seems to suggest it can also remove tree sap. However if the sap is hardened you may have to apply the clay bar a number of times for effective results.

Hi, It might work, but I don't know what it will do to the car's finish. A water-soluble paint thinner is probably a better answer. Sap can harden to the point where it can scratch the finish if you remove it early. Let it soften, then wipe it off with a soft cloth. You'll want to wax the car afterwards to protect the finish as the solvents will eat the wax that was there.

Valhalla only needs to be used once to permanently treated "raw" wood. Since your wood was previously finished I don't think you should use it unless there is absolutely no evidence of the sealers used before. Unlike finishes that remain on the surface this product penetrates to preserve leaving the wood a silvery grey brown. Works great on rough cut pine and hemlock, also on weathered pressure treated, not so much on new pressure treated, seems to just roll off.

There are specific products for sap removal so I would not use it for that purpose.

I used mine to take down lilacs. They have very hard wood. It takes awhile to get through, but some of the branches at the bottom were 3". If I were to do it again I would use a sawsall or chain saw.

I've used this to kill and remove stumps from my yard. It sort of makes them disintegrate. It also kills plant root systems. I'd assume it would damage a living tree if applied to it. Of course, I'm no expert.

No, they would destroy it. I would try something that smells bad. Maybe pinesol not on the trunk on rags in containers near the tree.

No. Do not try it, it was not designed for this. Only use it on aluminum cans and plastic soda or water bottles. If you try to crush a steel can with itit will bend or break, probably break. It works great for what is was designed for.

Probably not The hard chips from the stone would break the blades of the impeller. It is really only meant for wood dust.

Yes it should, but it won't instantly dissolve the sap. It might require several application and you will have to keep it in contact with the sap while its doing its dissolution.

You probably could. You'd just have to level/scrape it to the woods level. It dries like shiny clear plastic.

One can use vinegar, but depending on water hardness you may need something else to clean it with.

yes it can but you will have to replace the standard screws with longer wood screws to go through the bark and secure it, would dip the s/s screws into a pruning sealant first

While I can't say for sure, I would think it might (probably would?) I personally wouldn't want to take a chance - test a spot first maybe. (I use it on Poison oak and brush [double strength])

yes, it would work well as long as any branch material is less than an inch long.I use it for saw dust

Yes, but with difficulty on larger trees. We use it to kill mesquite trees which stump sprout after cutting down. It usually takes several applications.
