Aurora Innovations Sap-Off! 16 oz

Scrape Less, Trim More — Resin Doesn't Stand a Chance

Sticky resin buildup on scissors and pruners is one of those small annoyances that quietly slows down every trim session — blades drag, cuts get messier, and scraping them clean by hand eats up time you'd rather spend on the plants.

Sap-Off cuts through that residue directly. Apply it to the tool, give it about 30 seconds to break the resin down, scrub, and rinse — no water needed for the initial application, and no soaking required. If residue is stubborn, simply repeat the process.

This compact 16 oz bottle is sized for occasional trimming or a single station that doesn’t go through cleaner quickly. Once the resin is gone, wash tools with soap and water as a final step — and keep the formula off painted surfaces, leather, fabric, or anything that scratches easily, since it's formulated specifically for metal trim tools.

Key Features & Benefits

• Breaks down resin in about 30 seconds — cuts cleaning time dramatically compared to scraping or soaking tools by hand.
• No water needed for the first application — lets you treat tools right at the trim station without a separate rinse step up front.
• Simple scrub-rinse-repeat process — keeps the routine straightforward — no measuring, mixing, or special equipment required.
• 16 oz bottle — is sized for occasional trimming or a single station that doesn’t go through cleaner quickly, so you're not constantly restocking or storing more than you need.
• Formulated for metal trim tools — targets the resin buildup on scissors, pruners, and similar tools without unnecessary harshness.
• Finish with soap and water — leaves tools fully clean and ready for the next session once the resin has been broken down and rinsed away.

Who Should Use Sap-Off

Sap-Off suits anyone who trims regularly and is tired of scraping gummed-up blades clean by hand. The 16 oz size is a good fit for occasional trimming or a single station that doesn’t go through cleaner quickly.

Choosing the Right Sap-Off Size

Aurora Innovations offers Sap-Off in a 16 oz bottle for occasional or single-station use and a 1 gallon jug for higher-volume or multi-station operations that go through cleaner faster. Both contain the same formula and follow the same application process — the only difference is how much you're keeping on hand.
