All-Natural Homemade Pine Resin Adhesive
Perfect for any survival kit, this all-natural pine resin adhesive is heat-activated for securely bonding materials with different expansion rates—like metal or stone blades to wood, bone, or ivory handles. Originally developed using traditional methods, it’s ideal for attaching stone points to wooden arrow or dart shafts.
The bond is strong yet flexible, able to withstand shear forces and adhere well to many dry materials. When combined with fibers—thoroughly saturated and with all air pressed out—the resin forms a durable composite. If needed, broken joints can be reheated and re-bonded multiple times for long-lasting use.
