Please recommend a pitch product for the bildge. Evidently "Hasco glue" doesn't ring a bell. I want to fill the depressions at the intersection of the frames and stem so that water won't collect but will flow through the limber holes/bildge/pump/sea. Thanks

Your profile states that you live in Bellingham, WA. If I were you I would call Erica at Flounder Bay in Anacortes (1-800-228-4691) and/or Steve at Anacortes Marine Supply (360-293-3014). I'm pretty sure you'll find what you're looking for at either or both places (quarts and/or gallons). Fairly close to home, nice town, nice people. Good luck.

Call a commercial roofing supply house or contractor and enquire about "pitch pan sealant". It's the roofing industry's modern chemical answer to pitch, used to seal around vent stacks in flat roofs. I have had good experience with it in the application that you describe.

Or talk to a commercial roofer supply about hot melt tar. It acts just like Jefferys marine glue. If you only need a little they might chip you off some from there"pot" other wise you have to buy a 20lb brick...but it is dirt cheap and works beutifully

Geo, I'm facing the same situation as yourself. I've spent days chipping out tar from those wells near the stem-frame intersection. And there's still some left! I've decided to replace not with tar but tung oil putty, that way when I need access to that area again removal would be far easier. Also if I should need some putty in an emergency it would be close to hand!
There was a thread on this topic a while ago where someone mentioned the hazard of tar forming air pockets as a result of it bubbling whilst hot. Something which I found happened on my boat and those air pockets had filled up with water too, so beware!

Geo,
Though I've seen pine tar, pine tar/creosote,and other various mixtures used for this purpose The material that I've seen used the most for your application is a mixture of beeswax and beef tallow. This is the only material that was used on the snapper fleet smacks that worked out of Pensacola, Fl.

Just finished reading Gary Maynards article about decks in the latest WB issue. He mentions that Owens-Corning Steeps number 3 is a shoe-in for pitch. I am wanting a small amount for my bilge and can't find it anywhere (I'm in Calgary, Alberta). I tried their website:
http://www.owenscorning.com/index.asp
but had no luck there. The 1-800 number didn't work for me either.
Can anyone help me out?

Well I finally got through to the Owens-corning 1-800-get-pink number only to find that their roofing products are not available in Canada.
A dead end for me.
