Question: What is Scalding Rosin?
Answer: Scalding Rosin is powdered natural rosin utilized in the pig scalding process. To effectively remove hair, sprinkle the powdered rosin over the hair before scraping. This allows the rosin to provide a good grip on the hair, making it easier to remove. Brazilian rosin can also serve as scalding rosin, but it must be finely ground before use. Adding hydrated lime to the scalding water helps to loosen the hair and makes it easier to remove. For optimal results, add the lime to the scalding water at the beginning, and sprinkle the powdered rosin over the skin before scraping.

Question: What is the solvent for rosin?
Answer: Rosin dissolves in high-purity alcohols. Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, is a commonly used solvent for rosin. However, if the solvent contains water, rosin does not dissolve easily. For instance, rosin does not readily dissolve in 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
