Pine Tar?

(1/4) > >>

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.
