VITRIOL PINE  TAR

Auson Vitriol Pine Tar is a thin tar glaze that produces a stylish and modern grey colour. The colour will initially look brownish since the pine tar first sits on the surface along with the pigment. But even on the first application, it penetrates the wood to protect it from moisture, while the grey pigment remains on the surface. The end result is a stylish grey colour that blends in with nature and protects the wood. Vitriol Pine tar contains gum turpentine. You can use Tar Vitriol on wood that has previously been treated with iron vitriol.

Auson Wild Boar Tar is used to make hunting  wild boar easier. Impregnate a tree trunk or  wooden post with the scent by brushing a  generous layer of tar onto the surface. The tar  will then attract the wild boar, as it signals that  the tree is rich in resin which wild boar use to  rid themselves of skin parasites. Wild boar like  to rub themselves against the tarred tree. By  using Auson Wild Boar Tar regularly, you can  attract wild boar to your hunting ground all  year round.

PIN TAR APPLICATION
Pin Tar Application

Painting with pine tar is a different experience compared to regular and modern paint. The pine tar is based on substances produced naturally in the woods and is prepared by dry distillation of wood, especially pine. Depending on the species of pine used in the preparation, the pine tar may have a different odor and color.

BEFORE PAINTING
​

 Our pigmented pine tars  need to be diluted with about 20% gum turpentine or warm up to 50-60 ° C before painting. Our Bright tar oil and our Pine tar vitriol are ready for use after stirring.

​

 Make sure the timber  is dry before you start to paint, that will enable the pine tar to penetrate the wood. If the wood contains too much moisture, the tar will settle on the surface instead. 

​

 We recommend  painting during hot weather, at least 10°C. Then the pine tar is more convenient to work with. 

​

 The Pine Tar  can be painted directly on untreated wood without primer or on earlier tarred or mud colored wood. You could also paint Pine Tar Vitriol over Iron vitriol.

​

 Wood tar  is a natural product which can vary in appearance from different productions. If you have several cans, mix the estimated amount needed for the surface to avoid any color differences.

WHEN PAINTING
​

 As the tar is sucked  into the timber, we recommend to use a wide brush (70-100 mm) to avoid an uneven surface. 

​

 Stir the can any now  and then during painting to mix up the pigment. 

​

 For the best water protection,  we recommend two coats. It is ok to delay the second coating up to a year as the first coat will protect the wood during this time.

AFTER PAINTING

 

 The drying time  is ca 24 h at normal outdoor temperatures during grinding season. For new construction, it may be helpful to paint wood on the ground for maximum coverage.

 

 The wonderful Pine Tar  odor is present for about a month after the painting. However, the smell decreases considerably only after a few days.

 

 We recommend  painting every 5-10 years. The large range depends on the climate but also on the quality of the wood. Once it is time to paint again, simply remove dirt from the facade and then you are ready to apply a new layer of Pine Tar.
