I am also from Michigan, but I don't know where Roscommon is. Check the yellow
pages for lithographic supplies or printer supplies. If there is no local
suppliers, check with printer house. I am sure they will sell you a bottle.

I don't know what you are going to use it for, but I heard the different gums
work differently for gum dichromate printing, so you will have to
"recalibrate" your system with the new gum.
