It's not unusual for a substance that is widely used for one purpose to
be also useful for another. That may well be true for the substance
called "gum base". If what you want is not the same as the gum base used
in the manufacture of chewing gum, we need a better description of it in
order to help.

It seems that you want to follow a recipe of some sort -- this is after
all, a cooking group -- and gum base is one of the ingredients. Is there
a way to check with the source of the recipe? http://www.gumbase.com/
