Re: Tricolor gum, order of layers
There are acacia trees here but I don't think they're the same species which they gather gum arabic. My comment "can buy locally" means exactly what you read. It doesn't (shouldn't) imply that it is harvested locally. I can buy a kg (= will make 2500ml working solution) of high quality (= food grade, very little or no alien content) powdered gum arabic for $12 here in Istanbul. (About half of this for a kg of ammonium or potassium dichromate) I guess these are good prices, right? Regards, Loris. --- Loris, forgive my ignorance, but are there acacia trees growing there, so gum arabic is a local product?
