pine resin glue

[mountainm]

Hi folks

Please help, I have been set a challenge on these very forums.

I can't say what it is but ideally I'd like to do a 'proper job'. In order to achieve my goal I could do with some pine resin glue. I can fall back on epoxy but feel that would be a shame. On the other hand I don't have time to DIY everything.

Can anyone please help? There's some paracord doobries in it for you if you can.

Many thanks

Mike

There's a huge pine population around me. I might be able to knock some together over the weekend. I just have to have a look how to do it.

A challenge bourne by a challenge!

2 kind offers! I could do with about 2 bun cases worth.

One for practice and one for the real thing.

Time is of the essence though so could I possibly be greedy and split it between you?

Thanks

If time is of the essence, I'd take up Toddy's offer and I might not get round to doing it or will fail miserably. I will have a go though so whatever I make is yours, mind!

I don't have that much

I have some very coarse stuff I made with charcoal, very black and there's maybe about a walnut's size worth of it.
Usually I make it very fine and roll it into olive sized lumps and wrap it in birch bark.

The very pure stuff I have is bright gold coloured, clear as good amber and smells glorious. I have maybe six sweetie (boilings) sized balls left and I have a use for some of it very shortly.

What are you doing that needs so much ?

cheers,
M

Big secret...I'm guessing I don't need as much as I thought then, but having never used it before I'm being cautious? How easy is it to work? I envisaged a lot a wastage as it gets stuck to the tools used to apply it?

I'll take whatever is going please. I can return anything not used.

If it sticks to the tools you just warm it up and rework it.

It's not wasteful like a resin glue which goes off and hardens in time. You can apply it today and rework it in a month or longer time if you're not happy with the finish.

Yeah, it's good stuff, and it lasts forever too once it's made.

I'll see what I can burrow out tomorrow Mike, but if someone else offers you any, might be best to take them up on it too if you think you might need so much of it.

cheers,
M
