[Jewelry making - Article 01137] - [Orchid] Preparing pitch bowl

Hi Orchid folks.

    I've been quietly observing for some time and would really
    appreciate some help. I bought pitch and was told to fill the bowl
    partially with plaster and then add pitch. 

    Okay, I understand the partial fill with plaster. But how do I make
    a hunk of pitch (german red) ooze into the bowl. I am thinking cut a
    conservative hunk and put it the oven (kitchen) on something like
    250 degree F and watch it periodically until it does its thing. Is
    this right? 

    Also, if I want to put some on the end of a 2x4 to also work
    with...what is the procedure for that....I don't really want to mess
    up my oven...yikes! 

Donna
