pine pitch fail :-)

(1/2) > >>

paulc:
What a recent warm spell did to my pine pitch.  It was nearly 80F where it was sitting, in direct sun in my defense but it would seem it needs some work.

Do I just cook it some more or should I add some more ash or poop?  It has very little added so far.

Thanks, Paul

Pat B:
Paul, is it hard, brittle? More roughage will add body to it.

paulc:
Yes to both...let the poop hunt begin. I don't have easy access to rabbit or deer here in town...

Pat B:
Finely ground hardwood charcoal works as does fine saw dust.

White Falcon:
Here you go. Great information.
