Removing tar or bitumen from frame.

[widowmaker]

Any ideas how I can remove tar/bitumen from a frame without doing it any damage.

Thanks in advance!

WD40 on o rag does the job

I tried that after a quick Google search

It may not be Bitumen.

I Have tried T cut and it's coming off, whatever it is

Careful with the T-cut, Ed, a gnat’s turd too much you’ll destroy the paint/remove it all.
I highly recommend AutoGlym Intensive Tar & Glue remover for such debris. Always got a bottle to hand.

Thanks for the info, I'll bear that in mind. This frame though is going to be blasted and powdercoated anyway.

If it's tar, white spirit will most likely dissolve it. If you have xylene paint thinners available, that will probably also work on tar.
