This may sound silly but there may be a world shortage of gum acacia which I
think is the most suitable one for our purposes - Elephants have decimated this
species. There are several different types of gum that originate from different
species of trees, also the way the gum is refined differs from place to place.
I pay $14 N.Z. for a 250ml bottle of gum solution!!!!!!That's about $9 U.S.
