Ack!

I ran out of RTU gumpaste so decided to try and make some with MMF and Gum-Tex. I think I may have used too much Gum-Tex. After sitting for 24 hours or so, the "gumpaste" is very hard and even when I try to knead in some shortening, it just kind of breaks and won't smooth out.

There's zero elasticity right now. And I made a BIG batch. Have I wrecked it or is there anything I can do to bring it back to life?

If I have to start over, does anyone have a goof-proof recipe? I can go buy more RTU if need be, but I have all this Gum-Tex now ...

you will love nick lodges recipe on his site..

I took a look at Nick Lodges recipe - can I substitue Gum-Tex for Tylose, do you think?

Warm a small amount a little and then knead it with some fondant. Start with small amounts and keep working with until it's workable.

Thank you so much, Sugarflowers!

I did as you suggested and it worked perfectly!

Kerry Vincent's recipe is great. I've used it for years.

I use Nick Lodge's recipe & use Tylose. His recipe is lovely to work with!

Sugarflowers, since you're posting on this topic I hope you (& others) don't mind me asking if your flowers dvd assembles the flowers on floral wire? I am wanting to start making bouquets & want to know how to make flowers on wires. Hope that makes sense
