: Parked my truck under a pine tree overnite with my kayak on top. After
: getting home and putting the boat away I discovered little bumps on the
: bow deck. Does anyone know how to remove it without hurting the varnish?

If the citrus based cleaner doesn't do the trick try GOOP, or a similar lanolin hand cleaner. if all else failes, try kerosene or lighter fluid.

PS> You realize sap was the traditional product for sealing leaks in bark canoes, so it probably belongs there
