sorry if I am in the wrong place. Brand new!!!
I need a soft gloss gel. Pattern calls for soft gloss gel to paint over a photocopied image to transfer onto my fabric. It sits for 3 hours then I sponge off? The book gives no other clues and NO one at the fabric store had a clue?

You probably should check out this kind of information at the nearest hobby shops. Try there and let us know if you find anything out.

This photo transfer onto fabric is something I have been wanting to try. Bought the photo transfer paper and such..still unclear what it all involves.

Surely someone here on PR has done this successfully.

I have a couple of Claudine Hellmuth's books and they explain that process well. Here is a link to her site, perhaps you can find some help there. (just a fan, not affiliated yada)

I went to di## blick's craft site and searched for soft gloss gel. It might be crylic gel mediums available in the paint supplies. HTH.
