Nechamkin Pitch Bowl Kit with 8" x 4" Deep Bowl, Nechamkin Organic Green Pitch & Pitch Pad

Start chasing and repoussé the right way. This kit pairs the popular 8″ × 4″ deep cast iron pitch bowl with a proper rubber pad and 5 lb of Nechamkin's Organic Pine Rosin Green Chaser's Pitch (Made in USA). Tuned for medium–high relief work, the green pitch softens with gentle heat for forming and firms up for crisp planishing.

Features

• Ready to work: Correct bowl, pad, and quality pitch included — no guesswork on compatibility.
• Tunable support: Keep pitch slightly warmer for deeper repoussé; cooler for firmer planishing support.
• Traditional organic pitch: Pine rosin–based formula (not asphaltum) grips when cool and softens evenly when warmed.
• Stable working platform: Rounded bowl profile allows smooth tilting and repositioning during work.
• Bench protection: Included pad improves friction, stability, and protects the bench surface.

Specifications

What's Included

Note: It takes two (2) units of 125.288 to completely fill one 8″ × 4″ bowl.

Notes

• Place pitch into the bowl and warm gently — many shops use a 250–300 °F oven for even softening.
• Seat your work while the surface is pliable; allow to cool until firm before striking.
• For deeper repoussé, keep the pitch warmer; for crisper planishing and flat chasing, work it cooler.
• To release the piece, rewarm slightly and lift; wipe residues while warm.
• Always wear eye protection and ensure good ventilation when working with warm or hot pitch.
• Do not overheat pitch to the point of bubbling or smoking.
