    Is this a problem? I don't use the black pitch, but the red german
    pitch and after chasing a while on the vessel, yes it does seem to
    squeeze out. But mine isn't sticky unless the room is warm. I do
    believe that the hammering against the vessel causes the pitch to
    shift and try to get out of that place you have it in.
