FML!!! I HATE TaR
Lets start with a better question.. it will all depend on whether it is: If it is brown if it is cream colored if it is black like tar answer that & we can help
There are "bug and tar" removers in the car cleaning isle of the department stores. This will work to remove sap also. These will strip the wax off your car also, so it is a good idea to wax afterwards.
Put ice on it then try to peel the tar off
Tar can be separated from water with some products that are known to remove it. You cannot completely remove the residual tar chemicals from water without advanced filtration.
It is not stated in the question. But, assuming the caulking (tar and untwisted rope) has been used to seal ship or boat planking. Heat the old caulking and remove while hot with a flat hook or knife. If I've read the question wrong, then more information is required.
I wouldn't do it. Tar paper between subfloor and finish floor is a good technique, but gluing tiles directly to a tar paper surface is not a good idea.
mineral spirits will do it you can get tar remover at an auto accessories store
