Rosin solution recipe
#1

I'm trying to remember the ingredients in the recipe for a rosin solution to dab on a dial string. Been years since I had to make any. Isn't it powered rosin mixed with denatured alcohol?
Thanks,
Art

Any pure alcohol, that is either grain or isopropyl, and rosin in quantity enough to make the solution yellow.
I used it as a liquid flux for PCBs while a child.
#3

Is Everclear alcohol pure enough ? Icon_lol
#4

Grab a new tac rag and run the cord thru that a couple of times.

Warren don't waste Everclear that way! Cut out a small hole in the stem end of a watermelon and screw that bottle into it! Makes watermelon almost tolerable! Take care, Gary

5cc into a orange. For the dial string get 90% Iso from the dollar store mix with rosin. David

It is the same rosin. Maybe more expensive.
When I was studying violine in my childhood, all my rosin would eventually go to soldering.

You can get a chip from a rosin block for the asking at any music store, a liftetime supply is about $2.00 .

I have all the rosin I need. Thank you all.

You could always rub up baseballs with it.

How about epoxy resin without the hardner ?? damm sticky

You do not need sticky. You in fact need something that completely disappears, like alcohol. The idea of rosin solution is that it quickly dries up leaving only rosin as flux. Why would you introduce anything that is not flux and does not disappear?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
#14

So soldering flux will work? mixed with alcohol
#15

The stuff used by plumbers is acid flux would destroy your dial string please double check what you have on hand. David
