I've used acetone. It cleans the sap well and doesn't leave anything to intefere with topcoats or colors.

Just got 2 dozen shafts from 3rivers last week. Attached was a note stating to use acetone to remove any sap from the shafts.... So my vote is also Acetone...

I use Lacquer for dipping my shafts.  A quick rub of lacquer thinner will pull off any sap and the shafts will then dip just fine - clear or colored.
