Either are chisels, unless you are talking slicks. Even a slick slick could be dangerous.
I use the latex gloves when turning wrenches.
Maybe the wood bmike was using had set in the sawyers yard for over 6 months with the exception of the one stick, which was sticky? At least it doesn't ooze pitch liberally and even after 160 years it can still be coaxed out. I hear dry kilns "set" the pitch, does it still run if put in the hot sun, I don't think it does? River cured logs are not pitchy, I am guessing the water dissolves the pitch? I have not tested river cured wood after 160 years, on the other hand a lot of wood came down the rivers, will that wood still ooze pitch?
