yes, though i've heard the violin stuff may contain additives and is  
outrageously expensive.
You can also find it at good arts/paints stores, and your chemicals store.

I got my "chunks" from an electronics mail order, but they were expensive  
and bad quality (dark). The spray i got from another mailorder, and it's a  
lighter quality. The only bad thing is that it can stay slightly tacky.


There was also discussion here about a spray paint (transparent green)  
that can be applied and "soldered through" leaving a soldermask-like  
appearance. Look in the archives.
