Pine pitch

Pappy:
One more question,do you just heat it on low heat,kind of let it simmer,or bring it up to a boil  ???

Timo:
I think I went with a 2-1 ratio on my last batch. It will boil if left alone Pappy, you need to babysit the stuff.I use a small ss bowl and remove it from the heat as needed.

Also I made some small molds out of 1/2" pvc pipe by ripping them down the middle,giving them a light coat of oil, then poured my mix in them and let them set.Then I just gave them a twist,like and ice cube tray, and popped out my lil glue sticks. Worked great.

Pappy:
2 pitch 1 filler,did you use bees wax. ???

HoBow:
Pappy- If you boil it to hard, it will get brittle.

Pappy:
Thats what I thought. Thanks. :)
