The roadmap just says that pitch glue works like a liquid now but when I tried making it I couldn't take it out of the pot with a bowl. When I tried just taking the pot out like in the previous version it just disappeared which was a big pain after bringing it out a ruin to gather artifacts and it also used up all our resin. If anybody knows how to actually use it that would help a lot.

Hello,
After the glue is made you need to take a bowl and right-mouse-button click on the liquid within the pot directly. This will transfer a small amount of glue to the bowl each time. A bowl only holds one litre of glue, but I believe you can do the same thing with a bucket as well.

Glue currently does not work on v1.21.0 (Stable).
A bowl does not remove contents from the Glue Pot.
Trying to pick up the pot directly causes the Glue to vanish (or drop through the floor or something - I don't know).

It is currently bugged and there is a report open on GitHub.
https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/5957

I confirmed this myself last night when trying to pick up clutter and went looking for the bug report.
I recommend making a GitHub account so you can add/comment, as that is where the development work is launched from.

Unfortunately it currently has a flag of "Won't fix", because I believe that the Dev. didn't understand/couldn't repeat the issue. Not sure what needs to be done in this case, but I added a Comment and will see what happens. But may need a new bug report.

EDIT: I can't read. It is flagged as "Reproduced in 1.21.0-rc.1". Which I guess means it is fixed there? Can anyone confirm? I'm only running one version.

In the meantime, I recommend just updating your world setting so as to be able to harvest clutter directly:

For those wondering and find this page, the current method is to melt glue in a pot then pick it out of the pot by opening the GUI and right-clicking the pitch glue while carrying a container. ie: melt glue, open gui, click bowl, hover over glue, right-click to take a portion. I'd assume it'll change again at some point as this is really strange and works differently to everything else afaik.

Thanks a lot! I was really hurting my head with this. If you pick up the cooking pot, the glue goes on the floor, but once you destroy the pit, the glue dissolves aswell, you cannot click anything with the bowl at this point. You have to click with the bowl on the glue while it is inside the pot on the firepit. and never touch the pot! I should add you have to click multiple times in order to get a full liter into the bowl, which is necessary to get 1 step into the repairing done. 33%/66%/100%. You need to use it thrice in order to be sure to recover the loot intact. So its 3l per object. Works in vanilla perfectly fine with this method!

From you description and some trial and error, the glue now works similar to water (in other words, as liquid). If you have tried to cook some portion of soup in cooking pot, the multi-click is for determing the number of portions of 'meal'. So an educated guess is the glue-making process inheriting some cooking pot mechanics. Weird but understandable.
