    If you left a turned up tab on the work piece, you apply a soft
    flame to the metal and lift it out of the pitch by holding the tab
    with old pliers or tweezers. Continue holding it about the pitch
    bowl with the soft flame on it. Don't forget to keep moving the
    flame around. Let all the pitch possible drip back into the bowl.
    Don't try to burn it off unto no more will drip. What little remains
    should burn off quickly and yes, there will be a bit of flame. The
    gray pitch from Seattle Pitch Works is much cleaner to use and the
    residue on the metal can be removed with baby oil.
