When making gumpaste figururines I like to do the body parts one by one so they dont droop. But how do you attatch them to each other once there dried. I tried edible glue, don't know if I didnt use enough but didn't always stick. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Which glue do you use? I use some of the gumpaste mixed with water, then support the piece while they dry.

I dont allow mine to dry before attaching them to the body, i like them still soft so i can mould them into place and make sure there stuck well, Then , lets say im adding arms, i use foam/sponge supports to keep the arm in place untill it is dry icon_smile.gif

You guys that put them together before they dry, it doesn't droop on you?
