here are 3 recipes from McGill University to make your own glue:
Recipe #1: 8 parts of resin en powder, 4 parts of terebenthine, 4 parts flaxseed oil, and ½ a part of honey.
Recipe #2: 16 parts of resin powder, 3 parts de molasses, 3 parts flaxseed oil.
Recipe #3: 3 parts of resin and 1 part cottonseed oil.
For the 3 recipes, bring the mixture to boil. Bring down to a low simmer and stir.
While the mixture is still hot, pour onto some kind of grease resistant surface, that will become your glue traps.
you can also smear this on yellow cardboard folders or plastic to create your own fly traps (I posted a video a while back on how to make your own fly trap using the actual Tangle Foot product.)
Have you personally tried using any of the recipes above?
ReplyDeleteTanglefoot is impossible for me to find in Canada and I can not even get it in the USA to ship to Canada.
I really need to find a good tried and tested tangefoot recipe.
Please try and make a video on how to make it. SHow us from where you got your supplies
and you will be loved.
Hi What kind of resin powder?
ReplyDeleteYeah! What on earth is resin powder? there are literally thousands if not millions of things that could be described as "resin powder".
ReplyDeleteResin powder is almost always resin from petroleum. I definitely wouldn't put it in my garden.
ReplyDeleteI guess you COULD use petroleum resin. But the first thing that comes to MY mind is Pine Tree resin.
DeleteResin powder = natural pine tree powder resin
ReplyDeleteYou can find some here:

It's Rosin (with an o) from pine trees, Right?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think terebenthine is turpentine.
