I purchased my Omni Gel at my local Michaels Arts & Crafts store. Don't know if you have a Michaels in your area, but I would try any of the big arts & crafts stores.

Anonymous,

I've never done airbrushing, but my initial thought is that it wouldn't work well. Omni Gel is very thick and it's my understanding that airbrush paint is usually very liquid and water-like. You could try thinning down the gel with water (it is water based), but my guess is that this would seriously affect the results. If you try it, let us know how it turned out!

can the gel be air brushed on?

Jennifer, I'm glad the mystery is solved!

Bridget, I've never used Golden Gel, so I can't really compare the two. Omni Gel gives you a glossy and matte side every time you use it, while it looks like Golden Gel has different sheens of gel available to get those effects. I'll have to buy some and try it for myself.

Thanks again everyone for your comments.

Cool! I've done a similar thing with Golden Gel Medium - the heavier body gel seems to work better. Is Omni-Gel like that? Hmmm . . . must look it up!

Oh, my gosh! We used to do this in high school art class and I've been searching for the medium we used ever since, my search has ended! Thanks for this!

You can do the same thing using PVA Glue. Most of my degree photography work used this kind of technique and it works great especially for text, but you have to remember to photocopy or print it in reverse.

With PVA glue you liberally coat your image with the glue and then stick it to the surface you want your image on, smotth all the bubble out of it and press firmly down. Wait a full
