Pine resin

Wednesday 15 September 2004

Discussion of the ingredients of cutler’s resin continued on the oldtools list today. Steven Longley has turned up an American supplier of pine resin, also called brewer’s pitch. You can buy it from Jas Townsend & Son, Inc.

Daniel E L Yurwit added this to the exchange:

FWIW, the Apache also made jugs woven from plant fiber (a “tuss”) to carry water, and coated them heavily with pine tar resin to waterproof them. Some still work effectively 100+ years later.

Pine Resin

Picture of brewer’s pitch (natural pine tar resin) from the Jas Townsend & Son website.

But there’s more. Ryan McNabb had this to say:

The Kirby Paint Company, a family owned marine paint concern, has the Real Deal - genuine pine tar the likes of which you’ve never seen unless you’ve served with Lucky Jack on the HMS Surprise. Thick enough to float a hammer and with a smell like Heaven on steroids.
Friday Update: Jerry Davis added this from the southern USA…
If you live in a rural area, check with your local farm supply store (aka feed store). Mine sells pine tar in small (8 oz) cans. It is handy for dressing wounds, applying to horn stubs after dehorning and lots of other uses.

…and BugBear came up with a link to Pine tar; history and uses on the San Fransciso Maritime National Park website:

Few visitors to any ship which as been rigged in a traditional manner have left the vessel without experiencing the aroma of pine tar. The aroma produces reactions that are as strong as the scent; few people are ambivalent about its distinctive smell. As professionals engaged in the restoration and maintenance of old ships, we should know not only about this product, but also some of its history.

Somebody commented on 4 December 2005

I want to use pine resin in a sculpture mould,...and I want it rock hard after it has set. What do I use to harden the liquid resin?
For styrene (fiberglass resin) I use that peroxide stuff....what is used for pine??
Additionally, I would like to buy pine resin and the hardner.
Thanks in advance for your reply,

Dick Higgins commented on 4 April 2006

we have cooked potatoes in pine resin and are looking for a supplier

F Smokey Pratt commented on 17 April 2006

In 1971-754 I worked for a restaurant in Spokane, Wa where we cooked ribs over apple wood and served potatoes cooked in pine resin. We got the pitch in 55 gal drums.
Huge affair. Had 2 large caudrums big enough to put, as I recall, 40 large potatoes in each pot, they would sink to bottom and 45 minutes later would float to the top. We then used tongs to pull spud out and put in on a square of aluminum foil and wrap to go to kitchen. The restaurant , Kissin' Cousin, Started in Post Falls, Idaho, by a man named Carlton Ivey. He was probably in his 70's when I met him. Cool old guy. Told me the Resin potatoes came from the loggers in Georgia where he grew up. The wives would put a fresh resin potatoe in the lunch box and it would be warm still at lunchtime.
I think the place in spokane used this system for 5 or six years. It was fairly high maintanance and you got burned dropping potato in and pulling it out, inevitable and chipping out burnt resin was a chore.
We served some fine meals, slow cooked ribs, and the finest baked potato you would ever eat.

Thanks in advance for your reply,

James Quackenbush commented on 11 April 2008

I remember back in the late 60's my Dad brought home a cast iron kettle filled with what he called "rosin". He placed it on top of one of the heating elements on the stove. My Mom wrapped potatoes in aluminum foil and gently lowered them into the molten rosin. When they were done cooking they would float to the surface where she would take them out with tongs and let them rest to cool. We had fun breaking open the hard shell that had formed when they cooled. The rosin imparted a unique and appealing flavor which I'll never forget.

Constantine commented on 29 May 2008

I live in Georgia and I am looking for pine rosin to bake potatoes. I found a local hardware store that had 15 pounds but that is all I have been able to locate. I need another 15 pounds to fill the pot. If anyone out there knows of a place please let me know. Thanks.

bill becker commented on 12 May 2009

You need to leave room for expansion and boil up. Fill the pot to 1/3 of its capacity.

Andreas.karlsson commented on 22 October 2009

Dear Sir,

We are a chemical company (Ugur Ecza Deposu) producing animal foodstuff and veterinay chemicals in one of the biggest industry cities of Turkey. We are looking for "Pure Pine Resin" without any chemical inside for our Sakarya factory. We need minimum 150.000 ton of pine resin for every year. We exactly need "RAW" pine resin. it should not be "refined". Doyou know any company sell raw resin without any process. We want natural form of resin after harving the tree. We don't want any chemical and melting process. Because we are going to use it as chicken foodstuff additives. So we should guarentee to our customer that our product (resin inside) has no harm for animal and human health. No chemical process and no heating because useful minerals (like turpentine) can die during heating/melting process. I think we need the same resin even if you are doing any process on it because this mean that what you need is our need as your raw material .


Sincerely yours
Celal Aydık
