what is the best "glue" for attaching small items like pearls. I usually use royal icing(thick consistency) but i find that i have to hold the pearls in place for a bit, or else they start sliding. Is there better "glue" out there????
thanks!
What are you glueing it to? Fondant or what?
Take about a teaspoon of fondant and slowly water it down until consistency you like/works for you.
OR fill an emptied container of Tylose w/water and store in frig.

?????? I am so sorry that I'm dense.... Just water? Clean it out or add the water to the container with the tylose still kind of remnants in there? Does that mix with the water and and work better than just plain water? Why store it in the fridge? How long does this last? Sorry so many questions...
You can make a good "glue" also with a bit of gum paste (1/2 tsp.) chipped into a small container and mixed with about a tbsp. of water. Takes a while to dissolve but eventually you get a syruppy, cloudy mixture that will work quite well to stick pearls to fondant.

Yes, just add water to the remnants in the bottle/jar. Do NOT clean it out. Yes, it works better than just plain water. Store in frig for longer lasting. If it gets warm it could mold I've kept some around for over a yrs. It also can be fzn until you want it or you know it will be a long time between using.
i normally just use water... but have to try the gumpaste glue, like edna uses... thanks for the recipie!!!
Can you make glue out of fondant the same way you can gumpaste? I hate to open a package of gumpaste for just a small bit.
