100% food grade arabic gum. Diluted with distilled water.

Arabic gum is the same thing that is used in the glue for Zig Zag rolling papers:-)

There are many different types of pectin, some contain a large amount of sugar that can be bitter when it burns

He asked what we use, so I told him. It tastes fine to me.

Where can you get that, and how much do you dillute it? I got an 03 Sir Winnie that got pretty banged up :-)

Where do you get your pectin and what brand?

I get it at Safeway and I cannot remember the brand. It's the only brand they carry at my local store, it comes with multiple silver pouches of it inside the box.

You can get both powdered or liquid pectin at the grocery store near the canning supplies. The powder you just mix with a little water and apply. I use the liquid that comes in a packet. I put the open packet in the fridge after I clipped it with a binder clip. Been in there for six months and its still good. I used it a few weeks ago on a bad wrapper.

You can also buy little bottles of Torceador glue online and at some B&M's.
