I believe that it is resin.
I would go with rosin
Question Author
I prefer rosin, Fat Bloke. But the same dictionary, under resin, gives rosin as a synonym!

Anyone else have a view?
Rosin

A substance, refined from distilled oil of turpentine, that is rubbed on the hair of the bow of a string instrument to give the bow-hair the roughness needed to enable it to set the strings in vibration. It can be used in powdered form. Strictly, �resin� is the natural gummy exudation from tree trunks, as distinct from rosin.
