Patrick has some great points. Often in the winter or cold environments I keep a heatgun handy to warm the piece periodically. Obviously pitch reacts differently at different temperatures, and different recipes have different optimum working temps. Typically for fine detail you'll want a harder pitch, because you'll be using lighter blows, for heavier blows, you'll want a softer pitch Did you check out my videos? I have a few on setting metal in pitch http://www.bladesmithsforum.com/index.php?showtopic=26875
