Someone mentioned Gampi. There are a number of papers available under this
name, which I believe is actually the name of the plant material. I tried it
because Dick Arentz suggested it in his book. I simply ordered some from
Kinsella, the first supplier I came across that was stocking it. The stuff I
got was impossible to work with. Wasted a lot of pt/pd figuring this out. I
know others who have had similar experiences with the stuff. -jb
