Eco-House Damar Resin Crystals

Damar Resin is a natural tree resin derived from the viscous sap of the Southeast Asian damar pine and by air drying separated into the volatile turpentine and the solid damar resin. It is used to make various traditional painting preparations, such as damar varnish and medium. Damar resin on its own is not toxic, however, when mixed with solvents to create damar varnishes, it becomes toxic and should only be used in a space with adequate ventilation. Damar resin is used to make damar varnishes, damar painting mediums, and encaustic painting mediums. Damar imparts a high gloss sheen and hardened surface.

Eco-House Damar Varnish

Eco-House Damar Varnish is made of high-quality damar resin from Indonesia and #115 Xtra Mild Citrus Thinner in an approximate ratio of 1:1 with a small amount of linseed standoil for added elasticity of the varnish coat. Dry to touch within 12 – 24 hrs. Dries to a durable, high gloss finish. Also available in a Satin finish in 120mL bottle. Natural Beeswax added as a matting agent in the Satin Varnish.
