Wrongly rinse in something sticky (5)

I believe the answer is:

resin

'something sticky' is the definition.

'wrongly rinse' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'rinse' anagrammed gives 'RESIN'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for resin that I've seen before include "Sticky stuff oozing from trees" , "Fiddler's need" , "Risen (anag.)" , "Elemi, for example" , "Material exuded from tree" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
