Damar Resin Crystals – 454 g / 1 lb Bag | Beeswax Wraps & Encaustic Painting

Damar Resin Crystals – 454 g / 1 lb Bag

Enhance your beeswax and art projects with Damar Resin Crystals from Innisfil Creek Honey. Damar is a natural, hard resin obtained from trees native to Southeast Asia and the East Indies. These yellow, irregularly shaped crystals have a characteristic dusty appearance and are commonly used in beeswax mixtures and encaustic painting.

When combined with beeswax, damar resin can help create a harder wax mixture and raise its melting point. In encaustic painting, damar resin is also used to modify the properties of wax paint and can contribute to a glossy finish and luminous appearance.
