"harpicks solvent"?/RicB

[Richard Brekne]

This has been up a few times, tho I suppose the English
terms are used.

Harpiks solvent is a clumsy formulation on my part... but it
is dilluted Harpiks.... or Rosin dilluted (in alcohol I
believe).

For anyone who has the slightest doubt about the terms resin
and rosin I submit the following :

Rosin
   NOUN:
   A translucent yellowish to dark brown resin derived from
the stumps or sap of
   various pine trees and used to increase sliding friction,
as on the bows of
   certain stringed instruments, and to manufacture a wide
variety of products
   including varnishes, inks, linoleum, adhesives, and
soldering compounds. 

   TRANSITIVE VERB:
   Inflected forms: ros·ined, ros·in·ing, ros·ins To coat or
rub with rosin. 

   ETYMOLOGY:
   Middle English, variant of resin. See resin.
