Much younger then dinosaurs by 65 million years.

I use pitches low flow characteristics for two very different hobbies. The first is metal working. I use pitch as a platform for raising a shape from the back side of a sheet of metal, which is called repousse'.

The second takes advantage of pitches slow flow for finishing shaping, and polishing telescope mirrors. These custom made tools are called pitch laps.

Cool stuff.
