Tiffany Report post Posted April 21, 2008 So being a stickler for historical accuracy and just plain enamored with how things were done in the "good old days", I followed the instructions from an old shoemaker/holster maker in Rhode Island and cooked up some "Coad" over the weekend. 1/2 part Pine Pitch to 1/2 part Pine Resin, a bit of Pine oil and a cake of beeswax, cooked in a pot outside in my backyard then tossed into a bucket of cold water and kneaded into cakes. This stuff sticks like the dickens to the Barbour unwaxed linen thread...and your hands, and your clothes... LOL Anyone else ever try making or using this stuff?
