Several years ago many "Dime" stores sold a painting medium that could be mixed with ordinary artist oil paint for painting on textile. Now no one seems to know what this medium was. I think the name was Textine.
Does anyone have any idea where this medium or something like it may be obtained.

It is Textine, made by M. Grumbacher. I just saw it referenced in a 1959 textile surface design book, and amazingly found a can on the the shelf at my local art supply store. I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect it is no longer in production.
