An alternative to chalk. Resin(or "pine tree resin" to use its full name) is made from the yucky stuff that sticks to your hands when you touch a pine tree. Because resin is mostly colorless, it is preferred to chalk in some areas. But caution : Don’t let the color fool you. Resin can do permanent damage to the rock and in fact is not allowed anywhere in the US for that reason. 2, record 1, English, - resin
