There is a particular technique for tar and feathering. The temperature of the tar needs to be “just right”, because the goal is to make it EXTREMELY difficult and painful for someone to remove it and not injure them. I’ve been reading up on it.
I think I read were it actually killed some tax collectors back in the day. no big deal.
About 135 or 140 degrees will do. Just hot enough to stick to but not blister the bare naked skin. Regardless the first layer comes off with the tar.
Excellent exfoliation!
