tree sap?
Posted by: jerrysmith on Jan-08-13 9:26 PM (EST)

My daughter has on old Old Town Loon (green). It is covered with black specs that I beleive to be the plasticizers leaching out of the hull. I tested a spot with acetone or mineral spirits (I don't remember which). It seemed to work on the small area. I plan to finish the job in warmer weather.
