Flagline Horse Health Pine Tar, Natural Topical Antiseptic for Use on Horse Hooves, Helps Retain Moisture, Helps Keep Hooves from Cracking and Splitting, 32 Fluid Ounces

This pine tar is by far one of the cheapest on Amazon, expect to get what you pay for. It's thick, almost hard to work with thick. It does not smell like pine at all, has more of an asphalt tar scent. I used it for conditioning the wooden handles on my knives and it works great. I have made soap with it and found other affordable tars are way better for soap (Bickmore). As a protective tar it's hard to beat price wise.

Got this for melt and pour soap. Seems to work good. I have seen a few reviews on how it doesn't have a pine scent. It's not supposed to. It's tar. It's definitely not an unpleasant smell when mixed with goat's milk soap.

I gave this 5 stars because the product came just as expected....good condition, new, can not bend up...can't complain. I don't have horses, so I can't say much about the product itself.However, if you are reading reviews in hopes of learning more to buy this for making pine tar soap, DON'T. It doesn't smell at all like pine. It smells more like gasoline and fuel oil. There are multiple reviews on here that says this works great for soap, so either those people made that all up or this product changed. Very disappointing. I had high hopes for a natural pine tar soap. The book I got the recipe from highly recommended it, so there must be another type of pine tar out there somewhere that actually smells like pine. No idea where that might be....

as expected, but not very fragrant

I use this for pine tar soap and I love it!

This is a large can of pine tar. It is very thick and easy to apply. It apparently has a lot of uses too. I bought it for my dog, who keeps licking her front paws causing sores. It's perfect for wound care due to its antiseptic properties. Humans can use it too. Pine is used to make turpentine and the tar has all those qualities present. It can have a drawing effect and makes a good poultice in this thick state. Pine resin is another good choice for a poultice. Always a good idea to have pine products around for emergency medical uses. I find the animal products cheaper to buy than the products made for humans, which can be re-purposed for humans.

Excellent purchase

I always wanted to use pine tar to seal wood work I'd created. Recently I bought this jar of tar to seal squirrel box houses for some squirrels I know who had recently been evicted from their tree when it was cut down. The pine tar seemed appropriate for this project. I melted it down in an old crushed tomato can in a pot on the stove with a tiny bit of oil (canola). Onc it was the consistency of warm maple syrup I painted it on. I let it soak in for a day (could have easily sat a couple but time was a factor) then wiped the excell that remained off on old rags. Be careful with anything you wipe it on. The water resistance is superior to many products I've used in the past. Old school techniques and methods still have a place, we just need to learn all the clever ways the old timers had of using what was around them. I can tell already I'll find a bunch of applications for pine tar. Also horse friendly - which I can admire.
