Will try WD40 later and see if it works. Mark is on the seat of the stool, not bothered about the shorts. Can't understand where it came from, will quiz daughter, am off to collect her now.
No--- wd40 may well dissolve the tar and carry it into the plastic...
start with OIL - try rubbing vegetable oil on to dissolve the tar (may take a few goes), work inwards. (which is how you get it off skin)
I'd be tempted to soak kitchen paper in oil and leave it on the tar for a while.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
