I dont know chemical what exacty it is but I buy mine at my local pharmacy. It comes in a small bottle and it's a clear liquid. But I have also done toba's fondant without it and it turns out fine as it says in the recipe it is optional. So if you cant find it dont worry about it.
And it so sticky! Do not let it spill in your cupboard! Trust me! it took me forever to get it off all of my bottles and bits and pieces!
Ginger I know what you mean lol I had some of my paste colors spill out of the little jars with the heat in my cupboard lol what a mess that was, Now I have a deep plastic container with a lid that I can stand everything up in so now no more messes lol.
Glycerine is technically glycerol. Here's an article about on Wiki. As a chemist, I actually used this as part of my undergrad research (several years ago-LOL). Amazing how you find out about stuff!!

The cheapest location I've been able to find Glycerin is at my local pharmacy (CVS/Wallgreens). It's located in the same area as hand moisturizers. It's the same stuff as what Wilton sells, but a lot cheaper. Walmart pharmacies (in my area anyway) will sell it to you as well. Go to the drop off window and ask ... The local pharmacy I have only sells it in pints, so I tend to get it from the drug stores in smaller bottles.
