Remember this!
Resin and rosin are both derived from tree sap and have adhesive properties. However, they differ in their usage, form, color, texture, and production. Resin is used in a wider range of applications, can be a liquid or solid, and has a sticky texture. Rosin is primarily used in music and sports, is always a solid, and has a dry, powdery texture.
