Thanks for the reply, in the olden day we use Paraffin wax, Beeswax and Rosin meld it down on a Hot pot then dip the transformer for 5 min, The purpose of the rosin is to weather proof and also to increase the melting temp of the transformer, I did a google search and it all point to Asia country, or music store that cost a fortune. I can get one kilogram for free but just pay for the shipping.

Rosin is made from pine tar. It is organic, not man made. I do not know why you would want to impregnate a transformer with this. Do you possibly mean that you want to impregnate it with tar?? Your friend google will lead you to a source for your rosin. 73 Glenn WB4UIV At 08:54 PM 3/30/2008, Camilo So wrote: >I know its OT but it have something to do with repeater, I use to >rewind my own Transformer 40 years ago, now I have to rewind an old >Standard RPT power transformer,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = >"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> > >But I need to impregnate the transformer in wax that need ROSIN, and >have a friend going to Canada Toronto, they said that Canada Banded >rosin to inter <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = >"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Canada soil? > >The reason "Canada" because the guy is going to visit his son, and >the son is a ham radio friend of mine, he said he'll mail it from >Canada to USA for me, > >I know the rosin was use by musician for the violent use, and the >priest use it in the church, > >Any reason this is banded?
