If you thing x = a good idea, you have an F!
So, today I made another Pine Tar. This time I thought I'd go with 15% PT but, to counteract the softness, I'll reduce the water.
What a Pine Tar and water discount actually equals is pain and mess and hardship. This thing literally went from trace to solid in no time at all. I had to cut chunks out from the bucket like it's a butter - pouring in to the mould was just a dream.
My main worry is that the lye water didn't disperse well enough. It most likely did, but when it goes solid so quickly it's a little bit freaky.
Moral of the story? Just say no to water discounts with Pine Tar!
