German Natural Pine Based Black Pitch 2 Kilo (4.4 lb) Tub

Black pitch has stronger adhesive strength and is harder.

Simply use a hot air gun to soften it enough to secure your work in place. The black German pitch is firmer than German Red Pitch when cool, making it ideal for shallow chasing, engraving, and planishing.

Made from natural pine resin. Sold in a foil tub which contains 4.4 lbs of pitch, the perfect amount to fill our 7" or 8" Pitch Bowls. Made in Germany.

Simply remove the pitch from the foil tub, break it up into small pieces with a hammer (within a burlap or other cloth bag) and place them in a pitch bowl. Or, you may place the small pieces in your pitch bowl and place the bowl in an oven at 300°F, being careful to avoid boiling the pitch. When handling molten pitch, wearing eye protection and a long sleeve shirt is an absolute must. Molten pitch can cause nasty burns.
