Glad to hear that someone finds this useful.

I would be happy to test other pitches if folks want to send me a sample, send me a message and I'll send you my mailing address.  I need about two 1" pitch squares worth so I can do the test at several temperatures without remelting.  I will add the results to the standard graph if you send me the details of the sample recipe (for example "burgundy with one teaspoon of terpentine per pound", or "Gugolz 55 boiled for 4 hours").  If you just want to know what your pitch is like but don't have info on how to recreate it I can still test it and send the results, but I'll not include it on the common graph.

Cheers, Eric
