A dab of vaseline on a terry towel sounds like a good thing to try.
Thank you, Kim for the suggestion. I actually managed to clean the
glued whiskers simply by waiting. I think that the combination of dry
air from the wood stove, and the dust-jacket adhering to the sap dried
it out. I was able to remove the gunk with a gentle tug betwixt index
finger pad and thumbnail. Now Todd has a fine white rack to be proud
of, once more.
