Hi Carol,
Gum Arabic is also listed as Gum Acacia. Serrata has this but it is $102.90 for 500gms so isn't cheap.
Hope this helps,
Helen

Hi Cheltie

Gum Arabic is also used as an additive for paint when doing calligraphy. I know it is expensive but you may be able to buy a small amount from specialised paper/ink suppliers.

Hope this helps
