Les copals sont des résines naturelles (bien que l'on parle souvent -à tort- de gommes copal) le plus souvent d'origine exotique. La plupart d'entre elles sont fossiles et dures; les copals de récolte sont moins durs et plus solubles [...] Ces résines sont devenues très chères et sont de moins en moins utilisées en peinture de bâtiment; par contre, on les emploie toujours pour la peinture à l'huile artistique. 4, record 1, French, - copal
