Hello ladies!  I accidentally added the entire 750g of ps while mixing the gumpaste and sprinkled my bench with an ADDITIONAL 60g instead of reserving some of the initial amount and now my gumpaste is very tough and rubbery.

How do I fix it and make it pliable? I have kneaded in some extra shortening and microwaved it for 5 Seconds to warm it up a little, but it's still not as pliable as I would like it to be.

Is there a better way to fix it? I read about adding a little extra egg white to the finished gumpaste.  Should I do that or have you tried another method to fix it?

Answered o the other thread, but don't microwave it, that hardens it up when it cools off. Add crisco until it's pliable enough for you.
