I've seen pine tar in the equine section at tractor supply company.

I've used both beeswax and pitch to line leather canteens.  Use the pitch, it works MUCH better.

I bought 3 small cans of PINE TAR from the feed store to use on my horse's hooves.  I'm not sure if that is the product that you're looking for.

We use drums of pure pine tar at my place of employment as a tackifier and base for some glues and cements....I really cant imagine drinking water from any container it has been stored or poured in. Its pretty nasty stuff.

Using just a bit of it as a tackifier for a wax based pitch blend may be better to coat a water bottles insides with than using it straight, and may impart a degree of flexability to a leather bottle that a regular pine tree resin type pitch wouldnt...but with all that said, I would go for the pre blended brewers pitch or a nice leather covered bottle.

Several years ago many of the people who were using pine tar, the black stuff, to coat the insides of canteens and leather tankards quit using it because it is a carcinogen and besides that it just tastes nasty.
