timmyd:
first try doing this. I guess we shall see how it does.
Pat B:
What are your ingredients?
bjrogg:
I'm also curious what your ingredients are Timmyd. I really like pine pitch glue when you get the mix right. I hope it works good for you. If you have any problems with it let us know, maybe we can help you tweek your recipe if it needs it.

timmyd:
well I'm not really sure what I'm to be looking for to be honest. it dried hard not spongy at all. I melted some to fill in some gaps of my hafting job and it seemed to do that fine. I used charcoal ash from my grill and dried rabbit droppings
bjrogg:
Sounds good, I usually use some charcoal from campfire ground up real fine, but that might actually be better. I usually add some wax so it isn't quite as sticky.
If I have it figured out right, if it's to brittle add some charcoal or fiber. If it's to sticky add a little wax.
Sometimes it helps to let's it simmer for awhile to.
