Diamond 1 Lb Powdered Pine Gum Rosin

Description

Our pine gum rosin is derived from slash pine trees (pinus elliottii) growing in south Georgia, USA, using sustainable forest practices. We harvest the raw pine gum ourselves. Then, we fire distill the raw gum right here on our farm using basically the same methods used for hundreds of years. Finally, we package, label, and ship our products all by hand. Attention to detail is paramount in our business. Our goal is to maintain the historical integrity of pure gum spirits of turpentine and pine gum rosin while also providing our customers with premier products they can afford. Our pine gum rosin, also called colophony, has many uses, among which are ... tackifiers (for adhesives) grip enhancers (for use by athletes) incense for use on stringed instruments soldering fluxes hobbies/crafts (soap-making, candle-making, etc.) health and beauty supplies home remedies paints and varnishes. Our pine gum rosin is not listed as a food-grade item and therefore is not for internal use. Please note that during the hot Summer months, this product may melt and re-solidify during shipping. Our rosin is an organic compound, and we do not add any chemicals to alter the softening point. This means that it may arrive in a more solid mass, with a bit darker color than is pictured. This will not change the composition of the rosin. If it's important to you that the rosin be in a powdered, pebble, or rock form, then you may wish to place orders during the cooler months.
