Was reading about rendering pine tar from pine sap and/or fatwood and saw someone say you coud make soap out of it. Have any of you done that? Is there other pine based soaps?
Can you render your own pine tar and make soap (for humans)?

Re: Can you render your own pine tar and make soap (for huma
Having read some history of the naval stores industry in this part of the world I can't imagine anyone wanting to do that. It's a nasty process and if you're concerned about pine tar for humans I can't imagine any pine tar being safe for human consumption. Of course, that's just my humble opinion. That said, I'm sure you can do it and I am interested in hearing how it goes if you do.

You can buy pine tar soap. I just wanted to know how to make it myself.

They have to get it somewhere. I am only guessing they render it like anyone else would.

I don't think it would be worth the trouble and on small scale the energy costs involved might outweigh the savings. It's cheap enough to buy at feed stores or through Amazon. At most, I'd use it at 20% of my total oil weight.

Are you looking for human safe pine tar? Does the image I posted in other threads have you concerned about human use vs animal? Pine tar is pine tar and not made for consumption by anyone, but you're interested in soap, not muffins. If I've got the wrong idea, sorry, no insult intended; I am just confused as to what you want.

As long as you don't EAT the soap, you should be fine... :Kitten Love:

For anyone interested, I found this:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8TSckDoG7Q&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8TSckDo ... re=related[/ame]
It uses the same pine tar that's in the other thread on here.
