Hawkdancer I'm guessing since I've never actually seen or used pine tar, or brewers pitch. I'm thinking your talking about what baseball players use? I would guess that it has Pine pitch or sap in it recipe but probably other ingredients also. It seems more like soft sap. What I make is hard pitch sap that hardened that I heat just enough to make liquid. I mix in a little charcoal and bees wax to make it less brittle and give it a binder. It is very sticky when warm but hard and not at all sticky when cold. It is a very good glue when mixed properly and can be reheated to better align or switch out points. It's also faster than 5 min epoxy. I really like using it.
