Pine resin what to look for?

I got colophonium in a store for artists' supplies - canvases, for example, are primed with it. Also musicians (string instruments) use it for the bows of their instruments.

never used pitch as a glue to fletch arrows.. hide glue is perfect for that. I use the pitch when hafting points or knife blades..I just made 4 huge glue sticks of pitch.. mixed in hardwood ash and beeswax...  gut

Glad I’m not the only one can’t post photos here anymore.  As I understand it, the wax/pitch paste covers the thread wrap that ties down the feathers, it’s not really used as a glue per se
