Does anyone have some raw pine resin they'd flog me? Not the processed clear stuff.

You'll also need to be in it happy to post to NI.

Why do you want raw/dirty pine resin ?

Most of us who collect it clean it up before we store it for later use.
It's a heck of a lot easier to carry/handle or use that way.

It has to look like it belongs to a roughty-toughty viking chap. I've about 3kg of rosin in various forms, no matter what you do with it, it doesn't look right.

The Vikings were among the most persnickety people though.
They washed, they had soap, they were prideful of their clothing and accoutrements.
The reality is that they most likely cleaned it up as we do. Can you not just put some into something appropriate ? or even just grind up some charcoal and dry grass and add that to some of the rosin that you have... make it into 'glue' kind of thing ?

Sorry, I'm not being of much help.
Pine resin is easily available, but right now my house is in lockdown. Son2 has Covid and we're avoiding contact with anyone else.
Bound to be someone who can get hold of it for you.
