    I drip and wipe off as much as I can while it's warm.  Then when I'm
    annealing my metal, the remaining pitch residue burns then turns to
    ash. When working on large chasings, I can time my hammering so that
    the piece is popping off the pitch when it's completely work hardened
    anyway, so I can avoid much wiping and burning.
