I do use Gilsonite (which you can get from Liberon) but I can't think
of any A&C or even woodstain recipe that uses it. All the times I've
seen it (usually as Asphaltum) it has been for stove-enamel recipes on
metal, such as original Pontypool japan.

A fried recently gave me a Black Mirror, made from bitumen and
Gilsonite on the back of glass.

Avoid "tar" as a description - too many sorts. Some of them are
practically turpentine.
