The one I made, (from which I have made a triple exposure gum print using
acrylics), leaving out the colour and  preservative, consisted of about 3 parts
PVA , 2 parts glycerine and 95 parts water. Pop in the microwave,. bring to the
boil, and Bob's your uncle ! You may like to try your own variations. If
you want a preservative, add a couple of drops of Dettol when the Bakerex cools.
We call it Bakerex as Gloy does sound so cloying !

Keep it in a bottle as the water content evaporates but you can always add
more water to bring it back to the consistency you prefer..
