No it does not stain the glass red.
You really need the pitch lap.
tough. you need the pitch lap.
ask local telesscope builders what they use. if you can afford to access teh internet, you can afford to ship the right stuff in.
#1: No.
#2: Go to a roofing company or a roofing job, and get some hard roofing asphalt. You can adjust its viscosity with kerosene, beeswax (from a hobby store or Michael’s), or pine tar (from an equestrian tack shop).
Or order some pitch from Newport Glass Works, Willmann-Bell, or GotGrit.
