You can still get Stockholm tar at veterinary and horse supply houses.
About the only use for it these days is a remedy for thrush on horses'
hooves.

Brion Toss gives a recipe for slush to use on served standing rigging:

6 parts Stockholm Tar
3 parts Boiled Linseed Oil
1 part Japan Drier
1 part Spar Varnish

He says the tar you use makes a difference, use Stockholm tar if you can
find it.

For rigging served with nylon (tarred nylon seine twine is good) Toss says
Net Dip from the fishery supply store works good.
