  Dammar - LoveToKnow 1911
Dammar is imported into England by way of Singapore; and as found in British markets it is a hard, transparent, brittle, straw-coloured resin, destitute of odour.
The allied kauri gum, or dammar of New Zealand (Australian dammar), is produced by Dammara australis, or kauri-pine, the wood of which is used for wood paving.
Of these the principal are fl dammar (the Hindustani kala-damar), yielded by Canarium strictum, and white dammar, Indian copal, or piney varnish (sufed-damar), the produce of Vateria indica.

 Trees outside forests - Towards a better awareness
In this context, the innovation of dammar establishment is a clear social expression of a determination to refute a bankrupt forest economy and hierarchical model of agroforestry society.
Dammar made individual appropriation of parcels possible within universally recognized borders, on former communal forests, and allowed the planter to establish land tenure for his descendants, a right formerly denied younger brothers.
The parcel planted in dammars is a "garden" with all the social and institutional implications of the term.

Both dammar and ketone coatings after 40 hours of aging have been soluble in the binary mixture of solvents (acetone/white spirit as 40/60).
Photochemical aging of dammar and ketone coatings proceeds by the mechanism of radicals Norrish I and Norrish II.
For this reason, we are of the opinion that presently it is not expedient to substitute dammar for synthetic polymers (acrylates or ketones).

Dammar puts the sand, that he was given by the man, in his hand and recites the poem that was written on the note.
Dammar wonders among the trees and wonders where he is, if the stars had not moved then he should be in the same place yet he could not remember ever hearing or seeing this place before, another dimension perhaps.
As Dammar looks around he sees that the symbol by his feet does indeed match the one that was in the first clearing with the sand although this symbol was traced in the earth itself.

Dammar resin (10 g) was dissolved in CH (50 mL) with sonication.
Attempts to recover fossil Dammar polymer by the procedure used for the modern Dammar were unsuccessful due to the presence of substantial amounts of CH insoluble materials which made filtration impossible.
C spectra for the modern Dammar polymer shows 2 predominant olefin resonances at 127.2 and 135.3 ppm (with some indication of multiple overlapping resonances), and with secondary olefinic resonances at 124.7 and 131.6 ppm.

Dammar was a Nyrian male who commanded the USS Voyager following the displacement of the Voyager's crew to the Nyrian biosphere vessel in 2373.
He said that he was abducted, but was in reality using a translocator to take the place of the crew and transport them to an environment biosphere on the Nyrian ship.
The plot was foiled when the crew was able to escape by using a translocator, and Dammar was transported to a ice age environment.

Dammar with the addition of 3% Tinuvin 292 (by weight to dry resin) and the exclusion of UV is much more stable.
She noted that dammar resin varnishes were not recorded in available literature until the mid-nineteenth century, thus probably were not widely used as an artist's material until some time later.
Accordingly, dammar varnish, as far as appearance goes, may not be appropriate on paintings prior to the mid-nineteenth century.

Dammar, though a fine varnish on its own, is too viscous in its manufactured state and therefore needs to be thinned with turpentine.
Dammar also dries into a very brittle film and therefore should be made more flexible by the addition of an oil.
It also dries to a glossy finish, but remains more flexible in film than the Dammar and is therefore preferred as a picture varnish.

 Dammar varnish makers, have you ever tried... [Archive] - WetCanvas!
DeLac mentioned waxes and mineral spirits as a pollutant in dammar, which I already knew, but the presence of water was a new one to me. The water in the dammar would certainly contribute to blooming.
The present of mastic in megilp (linseed oil and mastic) medium leads him to say that mastic should not be used by anyone who is concerned about the longevity of his/her paintings.
So while adding mastic to the dammar might impart some interesting if not pleasurable qualities, as it does in megilp medium per Mayer, I still am not sure what it would add to the varnish in the long run.
