Renowned as the most flexible of all the triterpene resins, Mastic is a translucent, pale yellow resin with a delicate aromatic scent. It yields a remarkably soft, elastic, and highly durable varnish. Solubility: Fully soluble in alcohol, turpentine, white spirit, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Studio Applications: Ideal for formulating custom binders (mixed with wax or oils) and long-lasting varnishes. Varnish Preparation: Suspend 100g of mastic pearls in a gauze bag within 300ml of turpentine or white spirit to dissolve (similar to the Dammar method).
