The lid to my tin is getting stuck!
If you find that rosin dust is gathering in the tin lid, you're probably applying too much rosin. That is to say, you are applying more rosin than the bow hair can hold, and the excess is then falling onto the lid.
Because our family rosins are made from the fresh liquid sap of living trees, they offer outstanding adhesion with less application. The trick to getting the most from your Baker's rosin is: less is best. Apply only enough to generate consistent and focused tone throughout the bow stroke. Either way, an easy way to avoid dust falling onto the lid is to apply the rosin holding the bow vertically rather than horizontally.
When used correctly, Baker's rosins produce so little dust that users with pinene allergies have left testimonials remarking that they can use Baker's with no ill-effect, so again, if you're getting excess dust...use less.
If, however, dust in the lid becomes an issue, you can run a cotton swab with a little bit (not soaked) of rubbing alcohol around the inner edge of the lid to remove the dust.
