More Spruce Gum
Digital Caveman:
I just collected and filtered almost 6 oz of spruce gum today. I am trying to figure out how to capture and condense the vapors from the process. They are very flammable and may be useful. I poured some of the hot resin into the snow to see what would happen.
I'm not sure what I'll do with it all, but make hay while the sun shines!
Pappy:
Looks good, make glue is what I do with it, it don't go bad so I make up a bunch at a time, give some away and put some up for later projects. :)

Digital Caveman:
I try not to, it's awful when you do :D
Hawkdancer:
Trying to collect the vapors might be a tad bit dangerous! Things that "flam" can also go boom!, and that ain't good! Cook them outside or with a vent fan going! Nice chunk of pitch, though. Snow sculpture. (S) )P(
