Instructions for use
We recommend to heat up the Pine Tar to 50 – 60°C or to blend the Pine Tar with Gum Turpentine. This will make the Pine Tar more volatile and easier to work with. The heat or the Gum Turpentine will also help the Pine Tar to successfully penetrate the wood. Apply a thin layer to avoid the film from cracking.
