I'm getting ready to tar my small wooden fishing boat. the only problem is I need a better tool, right now im using a piece of cast iron [cut from a pan] sticking it in a fire, and heating the wood sections.. moving it back into the fire, placing the hard ground resin on the boats planking, and moving the hot iron back over top, making sure it soaks down into the wood.
I was thinking of maybe of using a cloths iron, but Ive yet to find one that sits around 500 degrees. to resin turns liquid/soft at 400 degrees, but I need extra temperature due to the drop that's going to happen when applied to the cool wood.
so I come here so maybe you guys can help me build sort of a large iron some how that I can plug into the wall socket and it heats up to 500 degrees, I only need like a small tube on the end of a metal/wood stick, and the tube gets hot, like a large sideways soldering iron. so I can just move it over the surface of the wood once or twice, throw the ground resin on the wood, and sweep right over, allowing me to work much faster.
