How To Extract Birch Resin Glue

I haven't seen this on utube before, how to extract birch resin from the bark of the tree. A type of Mesolithic natural glue used for many years.

Also shows you pine resin glue, better and easier to extract.

Can you make this with just fresh birchbark, or can you with dried birchbark. Because i have a lot of already cutted birch pieces for fireplace , but they are old, some of them even more then 5 years, so they are dried very much, but even if they are to dried, can you make it with normaln dried bark that isnt to old? And one more q., how does it condenzate into glue without a cold substance? Last birch resin i saw was condenzating with cold water, i think down can was in the cold water.

@specioss Not that I know of. Best thing is though don't breathe in any more of the smoke than you have to, outdoors with the wind at your back I always think!

@survivingoutdoors are the pine resin fumes(when making the glue) carcinogenic or bad for you too?
