Copal Resin is a sap collected from certain species of trees. It was once used as a binding agent for pigments used for art, and also as a binding agent in the form of glue - for a variety of purposes. It is mostly known today for it's use as incense - pieces of the resin are placed atop a hot burning piece of coal - and the odor emitted is often described as "piney" - and mild when compared to other resins used for aromatic purposes.
