FELCO - 981 Resin Remover Spray - VOC-Free Cleaning Solution

FELCO 981 Resin Remover Spray - VOC-Free Cleaning Solution

The FELCO 981 is a specialized cleaning agent designed to tackle one of the biggest challenges in tool maintenance: stubborn plant resin and sap. This VOC-free (Volatile Organic Compound) spray is formulated to dissolve the sticky "gum" that accumulates on blades after pruning resinous plants, conifers, or fruit trees. By keeping your blades clean with FELCO 981, you ensure that your tools maintain their precision and ease of movement, preventing the friction that can lead to hand fatigue and poor cut quality. Like its counterpart, the 980 lubricant, this spray is an environmentally responsible choice for professional and home use.

Best For Landscapers, orchardists, and foresters working with sap-heavy wood who need a powerful, eco-friendly cleaner to maintain optimal blade performance and hygiene.

Key Features

• Powerful Resin Dissolver: Specially engineered to break down and lift away hardened sap, resin, and plant juices that traditional lubricants cannot remove alone.

• VOC-Free and Biodegradable: An environmentally friendly formula that is safe for the user and the surrounding ecosystem, allowing for worry-free use in organic gardens and public parks.

• Improves Tool Hygiene: By removing organic residue, the spray helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination and the spread of diseases between different plants and trees.

• Maintains Cutting Efficiency: Regular cleaning prevents sap from dulling the "bite" of the teeth on saws or sticking the blades of secateurs together, ensuring every cut remains effortless.

• Simple "Spray and Wipe" Action: The easy-to-use pump spray allows for targeted application; simply spray onto the blades, let it sit for a few moments, and wipe away the dissolved residue.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
