	Sandarac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mineralogy, sandarac, or sandarach, may refer to realgar or native arsenic disulphide, but is generally (a use found in Dioscorides) a resin obtained from the small coniferous tree Tetraclinis articulata, native to the northwest of Africa, and especially characteristic of the Atlas mountains.
		The resin, which is procured as a natural exudation on the stems, and also obtained by making incisions in the bark of the trees, comes into commerce in the form of small round balls or elongated tears, transparent, and having a delicate yellow tinge.
		A similar resin is produced in China from cypresses, and in southern Australia, under the name of pine gum, from Callitris preissii.

		Sandarac was also a name given by the Greeks to a certain red pigment, possibly red orpiment, from its re-semblance to the red colour of sandarac resin which the latter acquires with age.
		Vernice liquida prepared from sandarac was usually reddish and dark in colour, and as such was preferred by the Byzantine painters, whose pictures always show that a dark varnish must have been applied over the tempera colours.
		Red sandarac varnish was also used to counteract the greenish tones of the under-painting of the flesh tints by the early Italian painters.

		Sandarac oil varnish was the so-called “vernis liquida” of the Italian Renaissance-era tempera and oil painting technique; and many, many centuries before.
		Thus, sandarac varnish would come back, now-and-then, but most always as a cold-compounded spirit varnish-- typically constructed using spike as the solvent for the powdered sandarac (turps cannot allow the dissolution; nor could/can any oil be added in afterwards as this would immediately pull the dissolved sandarac out of suspension.
		Anyway, sandarac still played a role in varnish-making, though this later use was as a final spirit coating sought as a tougher substitute for the much softer mastic.

		Sandarac bands, using sample sizes ranging from 8 μg to 1.8 mg, were found to vary only 0.3 cm−1.
		Thus, when a resin was identified as either copal or sandarac, the presence or absence of the three sandarac bands was used to specify which it was.
		Spectral subtraction of a known spectrum of pure sandarac was applied to the original spectrum, not on the deconvoluted spectrum, to remove 90% of the intensity of the sandarac-related bands.

		He speculated that it was the juniper resin 'sandarac' that was able to be incorporated into _oil_ varnish recipes of 300 years ago, the modern stuff being difficult at best.
		He also said that (modern) sandarac is commonly used w/ shellac in spirit varnish recipes, and gives a recipe for a retouch varnish that is equal parts orange shellac and sandarac, with the addition of small amounts of mastic and castor oil, a little less than 10% and 2% each, as softener and plasticizer.
		He also said that more recent sandarac varnishes tend to end up with a characteristic crackle pattern, whether this is overly-hard spirit varnishes or failed attempts to incorporate the modern resin into oil varnishes, I don't know.

		The five most often used resins (shellac, sandarac, mastic, copal and rosin) were selected from Brachert's compilation of recipes (see Table 2 for frequency of use).

		For the solvent dependency study, 5 wt/v% solutions were prepared with sandarac, mastic and rosin in ethanol, turpentine and mineral spirit solvents and with shellac and copal in ethanol.
