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,

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.

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

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 .

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.

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