I'm sure you probably know this...have lots of shortening handy to knead into the fondant! Otherwise its nearly impossible to push it through!
Just got mine off of e-bay. Haven't used it yet though. Looking forward to it... thanks for the tips..
If you got the Makins Ultimate Extruder--the light green METAL one with the "T" twist handle--you DON'T need to add a lot of shortening to your fondant.
It won't hurt your hands.
You can add a little shortening if you fondant is pretty stiff, but other than that, it's not necessary.
If you got the Makins dark green plastic push extruder--take it back and buy the metal one when you find it.............the green plastic one WILL hurt your hands and it's a waste of time & money.

I hate that green thing.....like the black and red gun with the trigger handle...much easier to use I think.

I assume that you mean you hate the DARK GREEN PLASTIC Makins extruder?????????????? Everyone does!
I hate the red & black one-----------too much $$$$$$$, too much shortening needed, too little a barrel so you have to re-load too often.......That's why I love the METAL light green Makins Ultimate----cheaper, little or no shortening, and a long barrel for nice long extrusions.

Actually hate both green extruders.....Love my big ole gold mama jama industrial strength extruder like Jennifer Dontz uses!!! It is awesome!
