What Is The Best Gumpaste Adhesive When Making Flowers?

I usually use water mixed with Merinque Powder but it usually dries shinny with a slight yellowish color. What is the best adhesive to use when working with flowers (satin ice gumpaste).
Thank you.
I use gum glue made with Tylose Powder. I haven't noticed any issues after it drys.
Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Tylose Powder to 1/4 cup boiled water. Stir until it is smooth and the thickness you like. I usually use about 1/2 cup boiled water. If it is lumpy it will dissolve smooth after it sits. I keep mine in a 125 ml (1/2 cup) canning jar at room temperature. I was told it can last 6 months like that. If it gets too thick just add a bit more boiled hot water.
Take Care
I just used water or water with a piece of GP dissolved in it. For me, it was enough to hold petals together.
