In Response To: pine pitch??? (Neil Nicol)

: 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?

you might try a little cooking oil to dissolve the pitch, followed by dishwashing detergent to remove the oil/pitch.
