I've asked this in response to another thread but haven't gotten responses. Perhaps better to start a new thread since a couple of other folks have the same question:

How do you get the fondant to come out smooth? I use the green makin extruder and when I make rope, hair or anything, the fondant always comes out with furry ragged sides. How can I get it to be smooth? I've tried adding shortening, glycerin and even using a 50-50 mix of fondant and gumpaste but no luck. Still furry.

Try spraying the inside of the cylinder and the disk with Pam.

What fondant are you using? Is your fondant too dry maybe?

I only end up with a weird texture on my fondant if it's been out too long. I use the same green Makin's extruder.

I use the makin's as well... make sure to work plenty of shortening into the fondant so it's very soft.

Also, don't push too fast...

Also grease the disc and inside of the extruder with a little shortening.

Good luck.
