What does DAMAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hard, pale resin obtained from certain tropical trees, used mainly in varnishes and lacquers.
Damar is collected from trees of Southeast Asia, especially members of the dipterocarp family, either by tapping the living tree or by gathering fossilized lumps that have hardened over time. Once dissolved in turpentine or another solvent, it produces a clear, glossy varnish long favored by painters for protecting finished artwork. The resin is also spelled dammar, and both spellings appear in art and woodworking supply catalogs.
