Clean pine pitch off a camera LCD monitor screen

Today I accidentally got some pine pitch on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 LCD monitor screen. Could someone please tell me how to get it off without ruining the screen?

Thanks,
rgerson

Let's see…

1, approaching a lip without breathing and touching the screen,
feel if it is cold (glass) or not so (plastic).

2, if glass, that's good as it makes everything easy. Using a very
lightly wet with turpentine on a QTip, soften but don't spread
the pitch AFTER using a razor blade to get the most of it. Be
careful not to touch the frame if of plastic.

3, buy, like I did, screen protective foil the same like for phones or
iPad.

If the screen surface is of plastic, test first on polycarbonate pieces.
If turpentine is affecting the surface, try other solvents like isopropyl
but NO ACETONE.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Only thing come to mind for me would be mineral spirits but I would try with a Q-tip on a small section 1st.

Thanks very much. I did have a screen protector on at one time, but I couldn’t get rid of the bubbles underneath and took it off. Maybe it’s time to try it again!

A few years ago, I had gotten pine pitch on a walking stick and even with mineral spirits, it was very difficult to get off.  Were you able to get this removed?

hand sanitizer , put some on a paper towel lay on top of pitch for a bit to soften then wipe away.
