resinate

Impregnate with resin

To resinate is to treat or impregnate something with resin, typically to preserve, waterproof, or strengthen it: The boatbuilder resinated the hull.

In winemaking, resinated wine (like Greek retsina) has been flavored with pine resin.

The word also appears in chemistry for forming resinates—compounds of resin acids with metals.
