pine pitch fail :-)

<< < (2/2)

gutpile:
I add hardwood ash and bees wax.. just made 4 huge sticks .. gut

Pappy:
I test a little sample after i make it, if it is to brittle I add a little more bees wax paraffin or deer talon , if it is to sticky I add finely ground charcoal or hard wood ash. I usually make a lot at a time and test a small amount as i mix it in the pot until I get it like i want. I test it on a piece of paper dripped on a little , if it bends and don't break and not sticky after it cools it is usually good. No real recipe just mix until it is what I want. ;)

Thanks everyone! One of these days I'll get around to redoing my pitch.
