Alberto,
Could you please remind us why it was that Rodolfo Namias
decided to mix rosin with pigments rather than simply using just pigments.
Something to do with stabilizing the powder in the
gelatine?
Using fixed out bromide paper, washed, dried and sensitized I have used only
pigment powders brushed onto the swollen matrix with some success.

Its a load of Fun but, still, the melting and grinding is a bit of a
PITA.
Not more than a multilayer gum...
If you won't have to deal with the subtle powder developed by grinding,
try adding some water until you have a sludge. Then work freely with your
mortar and pestle, let it dry overnight and finally break again with the
pestle to the coagulated mass.
Using digital negs, I mean POSITIVES, will add a new dimension to
Resinotype as it has done with many other good old processes.
Already climbed...
