[Jewelry making - Article 00289] - [Orchid] German red chasing pitch

    Hello to all who recommended the German red chasing pitch as sold by
    Karl Fischer as well as Allcraft. I have just received my order of
    6kg. I'm really concerned because it seems verrry hard and brittle
    whereas the impression I had from Orchid dialogues was that it was
    malleable and could be used for deep embossing which is what I
    intended to do with it. Is there something I should/could add to it?
    Or is it only malleable when kept warm? Personal experiences, please!
    I also ordered their black pitch but it hasn't arrived yet so it may
    be more suitable for my intent but what shall I do with all this hard
    stuff? It's almost like sealing wax. 

Regards, Kay
