Goo removal

Try peanut butter. OK, so maybe not. I might use denatured alcohol, of which I am sure you have some around.

Warning

With any solvent, always test an inconspicuous spot on the fabric for color fastness or other damage before cleaning the entire garment. In addition to fabric type, dyes and surface treatments, such as waterproofing or permanent press agents, may also affect the choice of solvents, processes and stain-removal outcomes. Know your fabric before choosing a solvent.

Removing Stains From Clothing

Step 1
Place the stained area of the fabric on an absorbent towel above a clean, nonporous, nonmetallic work surface such as a glass-topped table or Formica countertop. Work in a well-ventilated room if using any chemical solvent.

Step 2
Choose one of the listed solvents and apply it to the tape residue using a white cloth, cotton swab or cotton ball. Work it into the fabric gently and allow it to set for a few minutes to soften the adhesive residue.

Step 3
Use a dull knife -- or the back side of a knife -- or another scraper, such as an old credit card, to gently scrape away as much of the residue as possible. An old toothbrush may work for this as well.

Step 4
Repeat these steps with the same solvent until no tape residue remains. There will still be a spot of oily residue from vegetable oil, peanut butter and some solvents.

Step 5
Apply laundry detergent as a pre-wash, or spray a commercial pre-wash stain remover -- according to product directions -- over any oily spot remaining from the solvent, then launder as usual with ordinary laundry detergent.

Step 6
Examine the spot before drying and repeat the process with the same or a different solvent if any residue remains.

Anything you mix with silicone to seal it should be safe for cleaning it as well. Effectiveness is TBD depending on what you got on it. So as BL said, mineral spirits should be a good safe start.

BA's repair dept. rocks!!!!!!! They got my Fly Creek that has 300 nights on it back on the trail for 10 bucks. Huge rip on the vestibule that they did a great job of taping and sewing.

Well, the idea was to comply with BA's request that you not send gear in with duct tape. Because the tent was older, they didn't have a replacement fly. In the end, there were so many holes in the fly, all mended with duct tape because that's what we had, that I struck a deal with them: I sent in the whole tent for them to scavenge parts, and they gave me 50% off a new tent.

That new tent got a few holes in the mesh this summer (not sure why--it looked like a flaw in the fabric), and I sent it in for repairs, which they did for free under warranty. I am very pleased with them on all this.
