In relation to my previous topic where I made some pine pitch.
Has anyone here ever successfully made turpentine from this distillation process? I can only assume its as easy as trapping the steam from the boiling of pine resin, condensing the steam, then boiling down a little further to increase potency. For some reason boiling turpentine sounds toxic and dangerous. I wouldn't want to blow up the backyard.......again. >_>
Why do I want to try this? I'm still working on that part of the explanation. Yes, I suppose there are other ways of making a solvent (grain alcohol) but I'd like to hear about this method for pure curiosity.
Thanks for any tips or advice.
