[ATM] Melting Pitch

[Richard <cnc@cncservo.co.uk>]

Hi ATMers,

It's been many a decade since I melted pitch. In this safety
conscious PC world, how do we melt it now?. The H&S (MSD) sheet
says not to let e naked flame anywhere near it, yet I'm sure
that's how I did it when I were a lad.

One piece of information that I cannot find is the actual
melting point of it. I'm using bitmumanous coal tar pitch called
Gugolz 63 and 74. Is the Gugolz number equal to the melting
point in degrees C by any chance?

It's frightening the stuff you forget as you get older :(
