|detail = To begin preparing adhesive resins, you must first have access to a preservation room,
have a chunk of hardened plant sap and inks to use as a base, and a cauldron to house the resin in.
First you must COLLECT yourself some sap from any forest room, which will be enough for one mixture
of resin. Each resin will also require a specific amount of inks, which will depend on the resin
you are trying to make. Once you have these two ingredients, you can then begin to PREPARE your
resin, which will create the mixture in short order. Each batch will contain enough resin to FILL
three vials.
There are two layers which can be adhered to a target's body with one resin application needed to
create a single layer. The first layer, when ignited, will burn slowly and heat up over time,
causing a negative effect on the target until it finishes burning. Once the first layer burns away,
the second layer will ignite in a powerful reaction. This reaction is short lived and lasts little
more then a couple seconds, but is generally more powerful.
For each resin, you can view their corresponding help file (AB TRACKING <resin>) to find out more.
