[Woodcarver] Question for Lori Corbett

[WorkingInWood]

Hi Lori,
As a complete newcomer to bird carving I was looking for information on bird anatomy and how-to's on creating them in wood and I found it in your new book.  Very well done!  However I have a question regarding the "gel medium".  I have searched Michaels's art supply section and discussed it with our local acrylic painting instructor to no avail.  The closest thing we found was Jo Sonja's gel retarding medium.  By your description that doesn't seem to fit the bill.  If I understand your instructions the gel medium is to maintain viscosity and binder content in very dilute washes.  Could you supply a little more info on this medium (manufacturer, etc.)?  Thanks.
