Oil, tar, and other stuff & your gear

Peanut butter=peanuts+OIL

I go the more natural route and have used Peanut Butter ...

Hmmm... Do I hear any votes for chocolate syrup, whipped cream & sprinklies?
Peanut butter has oil to cut the grease, plus a mild "abrasive" quality to it, its easy to see how it could work out pretty well. I hate to be mobbed by rodents though, getting jumped by the squirrels is bad enough; I wonder if beaver like PB too? (They have the big critters right in downtown St Louis - we'd see them in the river right below the arch.)
I did find a mouse nest inside my spare suit, I'd hate to make the thing any more attractive to the dang varmints.

Like dissolves like, and that is the reason that baby oil or acetone dissolves tar deposits. Dont dive it, tar has carcinogenic properties, and I am a doctor.

Okay, thanks for all the input from everyone. I'm deciding not to dive it because it sounds like too much of a hassle. Peanut butter? This is starting to turn into an 'old-fashioned' medicine thing

Hey Tevis! Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know it was carcinogenic...no more bodyboarding there anymore either then...but I'll miss that spot, it was great for bodyboarding and that's where I had an extremely close encounter with a pod of 10 dolphins, jumping in and out of the water all around us. Very excellent experience, along with many others on that beach

Thanks everyone. I'll probably only dive it if my research diving takes me there in the future.

I used baby oil & it worked great, baby oil is better than tar. I'd rather have baby oil on my feet than PB.

Happy Diving

When I was a kid my mom would use peanut butter and it worked like a charm.
