Pine sap are not water soluble, even with soap. Pine sap is resin based, resins need a different solvent that can dissolve it such as alcohol or mineral spirits. It the same for wax (THC/CBD) resins, they need alcohol to clean it off.
It the same for blood stains on clothing. They are not generally water soluble, you could get them out if you put it under cold water if the stain is still fresh. Hydrogen Peroxide can dissolve blood stains (fresh or old) since it can be used as a solvent.
- NoImmatureAdHom 3y agoI'm pretty sure with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) it's actually destroying the chromophores in blood (among other things), not dissolving stuff. Put differently, it breaks up the stain molecules into smaller molecules and causes other reactions that change them, it doesn't just dissolve them. You can dissolve resinous stuff with various solvents, you're right about that. Stays mostly the same, just goes into solution.
- mccrory 3y agoIf you use Hydrogen Peroxide, it will often also take some pigment with it from the clothing if that’s what your are getting the blood out from. So be careful not to inadvertently bleach something.
