Pine resin is procured by taking a 1"X3" piece of bark from a North American pine deep enough to see wood under it,
Collecting the goo which oozes out over a week long period in a metal plate,slowly heating it and dipping off the impurites,
Then doing one of three things to it.
[1]Allowing it to solidify into a block.
[2]Mixing sulphur to make "gum" to be used as a "marker"or glue.
[3]Thinning it with mineral spirits or turpentine[PREFERRABLY] to
create a Jel to fascilitate easy use.
Hope this helps. (IMG:
