    I break the pitch into chunks, place them in the bowl and melt slowly
    in a 225 to 275 degree oven. It should take an hour or so to melt
    completely. Put them on top of an aluminum foil lined baking pan.
    Here's a blog entry about it

    You should get one of the few books available too, if you don't have
    one yet Marcia Lewis's book for smaller work, Adolph Steines' book
    if you want to do medium to larger work
