Wanted Pine pitch

<< < (2/3) > >>

wizardgoat:
I made a batch of pitch a few years ago, I could spare a stick or 2.
It’s just pitch, charcoal, some beeswax, and a bit of saw dust

Hawkdancer:
Wizard,
What ratios do you use?  Got all the components, now what do I do? -C- >:D (lol)!

Abo, the pitch is raw, unfiltered, gathered last spring in the Black Hills on a non Turkey day, of which there were several >:D!  JW knows!

wizardgoat:
To be honest I don’t fully remember. I came across an old thread on here and went with a ratio that sounded good. I remember modifying it a bit, because it seemed too brittle. I like it so it’s hard at room temp, but you can push a finger nail in it a bit.
Leave it warm in the pot, take a bit out and let it set up. You can modify until your happy.

Abo:
Hawkdancer raw is good for me I can make it up.Did you get a chance to come up with an amount? I just mix charcoal and bees wax till it gets like Wizardgoat said till you can push a thumbnail in it.

Hawkdancer:
I got 6.5 oz, but it is not real soft.  We had a hot dry summer and it is about too hard to stick your fingernail into, but it is raw and may have some bark chips still in it.
