Spanish term or phrase: brea roja
A text describing a show of work by a contemporary ARgentine artist:

Por último, un conjunto de estantes de madera y brea roja –el material que contiene las piezas durante los trabajos de orfebrería− sostiene pequeños objetos, entre ellos floreros y encendedores, como si se encontraran en proceso de producción y muestran, de esta manera, la presencia de la platería criolla en variedad de objetos cotidianos.


Not finding any pertinent hits for "red tar" (just song lyrics)

[German] red pitch
Explanation:
Not sure if it's German red pitch or red German pitch, or just "red pitch".

German Red Pitch is preferred by many silversmiths because it is less brittle than black pitch and has much greater plasticity at lower temperatures (even at room temperature).

There are many varieties of chasers pitch available, that differ on the nature or the ingredients, physical properties (such as fusibility and hardness), or place of origin. Names include Swedish pitch, Red (or Brown) German pitch, green chasers pitch, and black chasers pitch.
