Here is So Cal we would get tar on the beach and thus on our feet... we would wash it off... with GASOLINE!

I will check for goo off... have WD40 in the garage but prefer not to use solvent on paint job.

Thanks!

PS, Related story, I was installing a exhaust fan on the corrugated roof of a machine shop. I was sealing the flashing with cold tar (henry's), I slipped and grabbed the flashing (two story building) and smeared my arm with tar. I climbed down the ladder and the guys in the shop pointed at a 55 gal. barrel full of oil, I think they said it was diesel... I dunked my arm into it and the tar wiped right off.
