Traditional blacking was coal tar pitch based and they are now banned. Bitumen based are still OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Bitumen is basically bitumen. None of it lasts more than a few years so don't worry about whether the brand you're using is traditional or not.

BoatinglifeupNorth Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) You could say traditional blackening was Tar, not used these days though. How traditional do you want? I take it you just want blackening recommendation, lots of discussions on here about types if you search, it may save you time, here’s a couple.

BODs SR2 Posted September 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Thanks I just meant using Bitumen. I’ve used intertuf 16 in the past but the shiny new sheen doesn’t seem to last very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
