It's an Elmer's product that may still be available. It was in the school section of stores until about 10 years ago. When I couldn't find it in the store, I ordered it online. This is what I prefer to use for machine freezer applique, instead of glue sticks. It goes much faster for me. Apparently I have gotten better using it, as I don't get any lumps now! I thin it with water if it gets too thick.
Edit: It's still sold! Here's one link I found for it:

It's a starch product too, which is why it work for my freezer paper applique.
