Dallas Foam has great prices. Even with shipping, they come out cheaper than if I get them from my local cake decorating store. Here's the link to them: http://www.dallas-foam.com/store/cakedummies.html

I make allot of dummy cakes to go in our bakery on display and they need to be very durable because people cant seem to keep their hand off them!
Most of the time I use royal icing to cover and decorate with, like you were told before, you need to work fast with this.
When I am using fondant I like to sand the top edge of my dummy to give it a more natural look, and it helps the fondant not tear on the sharp edge. I like to use a very thin layer of piping gel to my dummy for the fondant to stick to. It has worked well for me.
If you would like more detailed direction on construction or stacking, let me know.
Thank you so much. I was just struggling covering a double dummy and found it tearing all the time. Do you have a list of how many kilos of fondant to inches of. Dummy/cake?
I just don't want to waist my fondant.
