Awesome item
Great product for gluing Knapping knifes to my handles!
It was... Okay
It was okay, not what I was expecting. I tried using it to haft a medal blade into an antler handle and it worked well for the first 8 hours then began to crack. And every time I heated the pine pitch and reapplied it the ability to with stand cracking only depleted, and eventually the pine pitch would just crack and the blade would be loose within five minutes after reheating it… read more and applying it again. I don't mean to bash the quality of the product but simply give constructive criticism to see its flaws worked out.
Easy to use, but has drawbacks.
I made three arrows using this product. While sitting in my blind this product melted in the sun, if my arrow heads where not fastened with sinew they would have fell off! I hit one arrow against a steel rack an half of it chipped off. I bought this based on a video on utube and I thought it would be easier than collecting pin resin. The old way of pine resin, charcoal and rabbit… read more droppings may take more time, but is tryed and true. It was too good to be true!
Verry nice to work with
was very happy with outcome on obsidian knives , arrows in the future
The Hafting Pine Resin will have a low melting point. You can easily hold this over a lighter and melt it enough to use.
Mike, According to the article on Wikipedia: The practical melting point varies with different specimens, some being semi-fluid at the temperature of boiling water, others melting at 100 °C to 120 °C. It is very flammable, burning with a smoky flame, so care should be taken when melting it. It is soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene and chloroform. Rosin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosin So, based on this, pine resin will soften and begin melting near the boiling point of water, about 212 deg. F. An alcohol lamp can easily provide sufficient heat, although care should be taken not to pass the resin too close to the flame, as it is very flammable. Some primitive archers like to place the resin in a small metal container, such as an Altoids tin, and carefully hold that over the lamp.
