Glyoxal in Europe

Due to Judy's clear and enjoyable instructions 'how to make a gum print in 24
hours' I was lost; the first try -no sizing, plain Rives- the usual beginners
luck, all thereafter the usual glimpse of 'how nice a gum print could be'. The
need for gelatine sizing is obvious, but where can I find Glyoxal in Holland,
Belgium, Germany or elsewhere in Europe?
The German specialist only found it as some particles in an homeopathic
medicine, the Dutch was not interested and gave me 100ml Formaldehyde after a
hopeless fight with his database, the Belgian found Glyoxaline, and the price
was 50 US Dollars for 100 gram (about fifteen thousand Belgian Franc per kilo).
Sounds a little high compared to formaldehyde.
Thanks,

Henk
