I am interested in a recipe for waterproof shoe polish. It requires 4 oz
beeswax, 4 oz resin, 1 pt linseed oil, 1/4 pt turpentine.  Has anyone
any ideas for obtaining the resin.  Being a Scot I am unwilling to pay
for this.  Can you obtain the resin from pine trees and if so by what
method?  I have tried to cut the bark of Scots pines but I think I would
be there till doomsday trying to get 4 ozs!
