Thats what they say but in general we don't see that until after the first clue stick hits Icon_smile

Speaking of tar junk from the old boats. There is a guy from Chile (don't have the link) that recommended "Bitumen de Judea" to mix as a stain for old radios. (basically asphalt). Ya still with me? I mixed some of the Philco tar for a stain concoction and it was a beautiful color and was perfect! It takes some finesse in the application and spraying over it with lacquer but you couldn't ask for a better stain color.

So save a little bit of it.
