Pine Tar?
zenmonkeyman:
Was in the local gas station/farm supply store recently, and came across a quart can of pine tar. Which instantly begged the question: "How can I use this?" So I'm asking: has anybody used it, what did they use it for, did it work well? I gather it might be used for waterproofing/sealing of wood, perhaps it can be used to make pitch glue for arrowheads? Maybe gluing down a rawhide backing? This can has me excited without really knowing why, lol.
Cameroo:
Have you been in the rum again?? :P
zenmonkeyman:
Hey!!! Did I deserve that!? I think I'll pour myself a rum and "mull" it over. Get it!? Rum!? Mull!? Ok, maybe it's not that funny. ;D
Pat B:
I don't know. I've never used it. Does it list ingredients?
toxophool:
I don't know about it's possible uses with archery, but here in Finland, it's used to waterproof the bottom of klinker built wooden rowboats and the like.
