Yes. Throw it in the freezer first to get it really hard, then saw away.

This isn`t a bad idea. Keep in mind they will shed a little when you cut them, so do it an area that is easy to clean... not over a rug

As a side note, with LoveBug season in full swing in Florida, my BLACKFIRE Bug & Tar Eliminator Sponges have been getting quite the workout.

Just got my BF sponge in, along w/ some denim pads. Bought it for bugs and tar, but will try on the pads also. These are brilliant ideas.

How well do does work on Tar? I have major tar issues as they city has a new way of patching holes that causes a lot of tar splatter between weekly washes.

New road repair machine:


Previously they would repave over each hole properly and there was much less tar flung when driving over the patches.

I`ve only used the Pinnacle-labeled version (and I only use it on windshields, not paint) but FWIW mine always cut into small pieces just fine as long as I use a sharp knife (guess YMMV there as I resharpen most knives while they`ll still shave armhair).

I used mine this weekend on tar. Took it off very easily after APC pre-soak. Just remember unless you are using a coating or reload or something similar that the apc or tarminator will strip your lsp so remember to re-apply lsp after washing to those spots.

Move to Oklahoma, they just don`t repair the roads. No more road tar to worry about!
