Repousse pitch

Jewelry | Repousse & Chasing

A few years ago I heard someone talk about an Italian pitch that is meant to be used in warm weather, and doesn't require to be constantly heated. The guy that was showing me his samples had two recipes one for the winter, which was much softer, and one that was a bit more dense for the summer. Both of the pitches softened from the heat from the person's hands, and were light brown rather that the black pitch I had back in school.

Has anyone ever heard of the recipe for this? Or used it?

Thanks :-)

Pitch from Nortwest Pitchworks is available in three formulas: Hard Medium and Soft. It is sometimes known as green pitch. It is easy to use and I recommend it highly.
