Most are produced by tapping trees, however, some are collected in fossilized form from the ground. The gum varies in color from clear to pale yellow, while the fossilized form is grey-brown. Dammar gum is a triterpenoid resin, containing many triterpenes and their oxidation products.What is damar resin used for?In encaustic paint dammar resin is the most common ingredient for hardening the beeswax and raising its melting temperature. Dammar allows the wax to be buffed to a higher, more translucent surface and helps prevent blooming in the wax. To use the dammar in making your own encaustic medium, it must be melted in the beeswax and strained. It also keeps the paint translucent and prevents blooming (whitening). It can also be polished to a glossy shine. How much Dammar resin you mix with the beeswax is a matter of personal preference. Typically, it's between four and eight measures of beeswax to one measure of Dammar resin, depending on how hard you want the result to be. You can make Dammar varnish by dissolving the resin in turpentine.Specific: Not for use in pregnancy except under the supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner.Please note: The size, shape, and color of the resin you receive will vary slightly from that shown in the photo given the natural variations of the material.Specific:&n
