I had an favorite aunt, now deceased, who was a head nurse in the Army burn unit down in San Antonio for years.
I am confident there is a special place in heaven for her and the other who worked with her.

Roofing tar usually runs at about 400 degrees F.
A few years ago I picked up a load of 'Type 2 Roofing tar' in Detroit, the temp. of it was 475 degrees F.
