Pine Gum Rosin. Powdered, Pebbled & Rock Like Pine Resin 4 Oz| 8 Oz| 16 Oz| 1.1 Lb| 2.2 Lb, Pine Resin for Beeswax Wraps, Sports, Violin and Cello.

I admit that I was aggravated from the start with this product because although it was double bagged, the interior bag was torn and by the time it got to me the entire outside of the inner bag was covered in sticky pine dust. It was impossible to remove without getting pine resin all over. I poured it out on a paper bag. I ended up putting it in a jar to store because the pine resin “rocks” have such sharp edges that they would rip any plastic bag open.Aside from that, the pine resin has virtually no scent. I like the soft pine scent that many pine resins have and this product was scentless. Now, one could argue that scent comes from impurities and that would mean these resin rocks are made from very well strained and pure pine resin. The color would suggest that as they are very translucent.Also, I learned that I do not like pine resin in this chunky form. It is harder to measure quantity and takes longer to melt than pine resin that is bead or chip form. It does melt though and mixed well with beeswax.I use pine resin for making natural beeswax wraps and fire starters.

I do love the product but there was definitely a hole in the bag and it got all over my counter and the shelf before I realized the hole. But packaging aside, I loved it and I will be using it to make multiple things. I have made beeswax wraps with it. Add more than you think you need because this stuff takes forever to melt and you need more sticky than this adds with what the recipes ask for.

Wife used them for a project. She was happy with the product.

Works just fine.

It is what it says it is and it’s good quality. Good value for $,

I got this to make firestarter cupcakes. It was a fun craft project and now I have a number of little cupcake things to make starting the fire easy. They are quite flammable so you don't want to put them near fire unless you are using them for that purpose. I play the violin and they look quite similar to a lot of the rosin I use for my violin so I think I could use them for that but I haven't tried.

Best beeswax wraps I have ever made. Very flexible. Just know that your melted wax and rosin will be sticky--so use a jar and paintbrush that you can stand to lose.100g Beeswax (3.5oz) or 6 tablespoons of melted beeswax20g Pine rosin or 3 tablespoons of finely crushed resin3 teaspoons (15ml/.5 fluid ounce) Jojoba oil6 squares of light, woven cotton fabric, pre washed and dried 30x30cm (12x12in).An old pot, old clean paintbrush (or new cheap one), tinfoil, mortar and pestle or some way of crushing the resin.Chop up your beeswax into chunks and place in an old pot – beeswax is very flammable, so if you have an open flame, you are best to do this in a double boiler (two pots that fit on top of each other, the bottom one is partly filled with water) or in a crock pot.This will ensure your beeswax doesn’t catch fire. Crush the resin in a mortar and pestle and add to the wax.Melt over a medium heat and stir intermittently until all melted together, then remove it from the heat.Add the jojoba oil and stir well.Turn your oven on to 100C (200F) to pre-warm, and cover some baking sheets with tin foil to protect them.Cut your fabric to size. I prefer to use pinking shears to help stop the fraying, but I don’t own any so today it was straight cuts.With your old paint brush paint one side of the fabric with the wax mixture.Try and get it even-ish, it cools fairly quickly and heating it in the oven helps even it out. Place the tinfoil and fabric onto a tray and pop in the oven for 5 minutes.Take it out of the oven and check the wax is now evenly soaked through to the back. If it has not, return it to the oven for 3 more minutes, adding more wax if required.Once the back is evenly coated carefully remove the beeswax wrap from the foil and hang it somewhere for about 3 minutes to set.

The rosin base of an antique candelabra had separated from the silver. I tried to reuse the original rosin would not melt at a temperature I felt comfortable with. Rosin is flammable, liquid and vapor. I also worried I would damage the silver.This rosin melted easily, poured well and set quickly.
