Is glycerin hard to find?
I stopped at a Walgreens pharmacy the other day and they said they no longer carry it...should I save myself time and money by calling places first rather than running all over town?

Mine is also from Target, but it was stored behind the counter and I had to ask the pharmacist for it.

If you have a health-food store, I'd just get it there. I had a hard time finding it too. Walgreens told me they'd have to special order it!

Walmart has it. In my Walmart, it is located on the bandages display (go figure) its on the very top shelf in a tiny bottle with a pink label.

I am using it to make my own blender pen refill solution but I believe you can also make stamp cleaner/conditioner (?) with it!

I got mine at Kroger pharamcy. Off topic a bit - why would it be in the cake decorating aisle that doesn't make sense to me.

There are several threads with recipes for stamp cleaners made with glycerin. Here's a recent one:

I just bought some at a local pharmacy.
We were doing a science fair experiment and got it at a local small town drug store. They carried it in two sizes.

The icing colors for cake decorating are a paste and they get thick over time and the glycerin thins them down without harming them or changing the colors.
I've always bought mine a local cake decorating supply shop, Michaels or Hobby Lobby just depends on where I'm at and what I need at the time.
