Gum Copal is used as an ingredient in varnish, lacquers, wood coatings and finishes, particularly those containing Shellac. It yields a hard elastic varnish that will darken with age.
Gum Copal is a natural resin obtained from Agathis Coranthifolia . This tree species is found Mainly in Sulawesi and Java, Indonesia. Being soluble in alcohol, gum copal’s quality is graded and determined mainly by the hardness, the lump’s size, the purity level and the colour. Dark brown to sharp yellow is how the colour varies.
