I spent some free time processing pine sap that I collected a few months ago. Not much research went into this so I'm pleasantly surprised with the results.
Check out this video that I just came across for a really interesting overview of the pine tar and turpentine industry in Virginia in the 1700s: • Video

Don't ignore your elders advice, but its also ok to find out why they gave the advice in the first place. The journey and destination each have their value.

@eternalfire9009 5 лет назад

Soak amd disolve the pine pitch in grain alcohol or even denatured alcohol. Wait until everything dissolves (adding more alcohol as needed) then pour through coffee filters. Let sit until it turns to a molasses consistency, then heat and pour into silicon molds. Viola... Pure pine resin for all your needs. Melt, add bees wax and charcoal, you got pitch, wax and scents in verying amounts... mustache wax to Bow rosin... Etc.

Warning to everyone: be careful distilling turpentine from ponderosa pine tree sap. If you accidentally get a Jeffrey pine tree, which looks very similar, the sap will contain highly flammable heptane. Turpentine distillers have had their equipment explode when heptane vapor caught fire.

@AndrewKaufmanMD 8 месяцев назад

Here are two reasons why you didn’t get clear turpentine at the end. The starting material was not fresh sap, known as gum. You have to remove the bark and collect it over time (1-2 weeks) to get the gum flowing. Your starting material was resin, which is a completely different material with different chemical composition from sap/gum. Secondly, before distillation you should add some water to the sap/gum to minimize fire risk and make it easier to heat. The distillate will have two layers, the top layer being turpentine. Your end product is not turpentine and I’m not even sure what to call it. Good effort but there are easily searchable resources explaining this process.

Dennis, Thanks for the vid. Please put up more vids on this as you perfect your methods. Great information for survivalists or off-gridders. : ) Make sure to emphasize (Ventilation) because the fumes can be extremely irritating to some. I grew up chewing on pine pitch. I would get the dark stuff that was about half dry at the base of the tree, pop it in my mouth and chew it while hiking in the countryside and grazing along the way, or simply playing hard. Never chewed much gum while growing up, but chewed on a lot of pitch. : )

the scented fumes should be limonene (boils around 315 F i believe). Your distillate could be a combo of limonene, water, and wood alcohol.

@jimparsons6803 6 месяцев назад

Thanks. Never done this myself, but I think that this sort of chemistry more or less saved the Old South's economy after the US Civil War. The starting materials were dirt cheap, and with a bit of training you'd make a ready for market material, as there are many uses for pine sap related products. And because you really didn't need a lot of specialized equipment, nearly anyone could do the extraction process. Because people got used to thinking in terms of chemistry, it was easier for them to turn their thoughts to other sorts of chemistry.

@Albatr0ss222 10 месяцев назад

Following your curiosity and letting the process teach you is a great attribute, It's becoming a very rare gift, and you have it!! I use Pine Tar and Turpentine in a lot of homemade products including Skin balm, Soap, Shampoo, Wood Finish, Leather finish (Hubert's 1800's recipe). The native americans used that sap mixed with toasted egg shells or clam shells (crushed to fine powder) to make epoxy for their Arrows and other items. another cool one to make is Birch bark extract (i have not found anything that prevents leather mold and mildew better than Birch Bark extract). Subscribed - cool stuff man - keep it up!!

@CMHSmith2012 7 лет назад

Mesh is a very effective heat sink and dissipates heat in thick melted pine pitch quickly. Heat the screen mesh. Even consider shorting a nine-volt battery or two across the screen to keep it very hot. Then more resin will pour through. By the way, maybe try a fine metal screen, cheese cloth or coffee filter for finer filtering. Paper towels are made to absorb and dissolve. All at your own risk. Great start - good video.

Another name for this substance is Colophony, rosin of pine. It has been used as a key ingredient for making cylinder records for Gillet phonographs with a mixture of paraffin wax. When hardened the mixture is poured into a cylinder mold. Once cooled the wax Colophony cylinder is cut on the edges to make it smooth. Then turned on a mandrel to cut the grooves in and then a recordable stylus is used to record sound or music on the cylinder. You probably overheated it. It should be a lighter red

Might I suggest, next time using the boiling with the filters already within, under the sap? Staying hot would filter it smoothly. Neither of your filters look to be in any danger of catching fire, although I cannot tell if the one is simply window screen nylon. In either case, you can of course find metal ones. Good to see the experimental initiative. Enjoy it so far. I suspect there is a findable list of temperature ranges for the changes in state. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

@WhatDennisDoes 8 лет назад

+SeeTheWholeTruth that's a great suggestion. I'm looking for more pitch now and will render it down with the filters in place. The screen I have is aluminum window screen so should be fine for this. I'll see if I can record temperature while I'm at it.

So I'd been doing some research on Celtic headhunting after seeing that we now have evidence that it was actually done. In Roman accounts its said heads were preserved in pine resin. The paper said that these severed heads they studied did indeed contain traces of pine resin that had been heated. So I think it may have been rosin the heads were preserved in. And with this video as a visual reference I have an idea of how this would look if correct. So thanks.

I have been buying refined pinon pine resin on Amazon for sometime now, but now I want to start refining my own resin. I found a group of pine trees seaping with sap and wonder how to get a very clean golden color refined resin. The resin I buy online is beautifully refined...pure golden color. So far I know they "purify their resin gently". What I am guessing they do is use low heat to filter the impurities to keep that golden color. I'm sure using high heat will make the resin turn dark or even black. I bet there is a fine line to getting a beautiful refined pine resin. Any thoughts?

@WhatDennisDoes 6 лет назад

I have a theory about the color - a lot of the pitch that I collected already had a reddish color to it. I found that this pitch also had a different consistency and seemed to ooze from random spots on the tree. Other pitch that was clear came from wounds in the tree and there wasn't nearly as much of this clear stuff. It seems that the tree wounds heal pretty quickly and not much resin comes out. Where the big globs of reddish stuff collects I am guessing there is some sort of bug living inside that doesn't allow the tree's wound to fully heal. I bet that this reddish color has something to do with the bug as well - maybe the pitch is contaminated with something the bug excretes. Again just a theory from what I've observed and I haven't done any research on this. I bet the color of the final product depends a lot on where and how the pitch was collected.

@gnomebeard407 6 лет назад

What Dennis Does yea it really depends on the type of tree you get the resin from. The resin i buy online is flawless! But it's getting way too expensive especially since i am trying to make soap out of it. I also make a salve and works wonders. I add propolis, she butter, candelilla wax, almomd oil and resin. Keeps my skin very clear. I also tried spruce resin and so far this one smells best.

It looks like Ike you made some pine tar in the distillation pot?

You need to thin it down with either isopropanol or ethanol then strain it and then cook it down easy peasy the alcohol Cooks off and it's completely clean after that

While watching this (straining it) I thought perhaps if boiling water under the straining process would make the tar thinner. The water would evaporate and leave strained tar. Maybe this has already been commented on, I didn't read all the comments. I'm going to try it.
