Terry,
Do you use the acronym PVA to refer to polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl
acetate in the recipe below?

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..
