Salopian,
I used damascus's recipe with the gum copal manilla. Bought digital scales and identical ingredient and could not get the gum copal to run into the oil whatever i did the gum copal came out of solution and formed a jelly like substance that was uniquely interesting. In the end i poured off the oil residue and filtered it and it was the most pleasant smelling oil - something of turps and something of manila i ever had on the bench - it wasn't useless but not was it much better than anything else i had at the time - I'd mix another batch only for that smell again.
If anyone gets any further with it than i did i would be interested to hear - Ive no doubt i misinterpreted some key stage of the operation its been a few years since i tried it
