pine resin

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
If you want really, really clean stuff, dissolve it in turpentine, strain through a fine strainer and then slowly let it dry off under a lamp or on top of a radiator.

HWMBLT did some for me that looks like amber beads it's so clean :D He rolled it into balls that look awfully like candy balls :rolleyes:

The smell in the house while it's being made is wonderful. :D

cheers,

I cleaned some up whilst out a few weeks back. I just cut the lid off a beer can placed it close to the fire and added the resin. As the resin melted i just filtered it through a bit of hessian cloth. Keep repeating this as the resin melts.
It sets like glass and can then be stored and used.

Also once you have finished with the hessian and left over bits of gunk, pour the remains onto the hessian cloth and wire wrap it to a stick :D

The all you need to do is set it alight, grab your pitch fork and yer away :rolleyes:
