Default Tar on slates.


We have 600+ roof slates, with patches of tar on them. We can get most
off with a scraper, but have some stubbon bits. Any ideas how I can
get 400 of them clean?

I am happy to loose some on the way.

I have tried heating the tar, by the time it comes off, the slate is
popping, and bits are firing at me.

Thanks
Rick
