Dammar is a
natural resin used as a very
traditional medium
and varnish. For use as a varnish, dissolve the resin in a
solvent such as turpentine or our citrus solvent. Dammar can
also be melted. It is often combined with beeswax for
Encaustic painting to harden and add gloss. Our 100 g Dammar
resin is smaller pieces packaged in cotton
bags ready to submerge in 200 ml
of solvent, and the 250g and 500g are sold as loose nuggets.
Obtained from a
renewable resource, its production helps support indigenous
people and protect the rainforest by replacing other
non-renewable industries such as logging. Melting point 176
degrees farenheit. Do not heat over an open flame.
