Mesorat%20hashas for Mikvaot 9:7

מִטְפַּחַת שֶׁל זַפָּתִין וְשֶׁל יוֹצְרִין וְשֶׁל מְפַסְּלֵי אִילָנוֹת, אֵין חוֹצְצִין. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף שֶׁל קַיָּצִין, כַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶן. זֶה הַכְּלָל, כָּל הַמַּקְפִּיד עָלָיו, חוֹצֵץ. וְשֶׁאֵינוֹ מַקְפִּיד עָלָיו, אֵינוֹ חוֹצֵץ:

Regarding the aprons of pitch workers and potters and tree-hedgers, they [pitch and myrrh] do not interpose. Rabbi Yehuda says: even those [aprons] of fig driers are like them. This is the general rule: anything which one cares about, interposes; and that which one does not care about, does not interpose.
