I need sugar veil fast but none available so I heard you could use TBK gumpaste mix just like you do Sugar Veil.  I am going to use in one of the Sugar Veil lace mats....has anyone done this with the TBK mix?  Does it work?

Haven't tried the TBK gum paste, but I did find this recipe online the other day (haven't tried it either, but it might be worth a try):

Homemade Sugarveil Recipe (by Tami Dragoo)
1 Tbs. tylose powder
1 Tbs. powdered sugar
2 Tbs. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. meringue powder
1/2 tsp. light corn syrup
1/4 c. boiling water
Mix until incorporated. Add color as desired.

Thank you....my first attempt with the TBK was not good!

Will try your suggestion.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

It worked B E A U T I F U L L Y !!!!  

It was ready to peel off the lace mold in less than 3 hours too.  I did place it on a sheet pan in the oven with just the oven light on as I live in very humid weather.

I used distilled water just in case, and I added black color to the boiling water as well as the corn syrup to the boiling water so it would all release into from the spoon.

I only wish I had tried it before buying 2 bags of sugar veil online with 2 day delivery charges - ugh!

Thank you so much!

Barely - I had to mix mostly by hand.  I used my 6 QT Kitchenaid with the whisk, but it is a very small amount.  Had to stop frequently and push mix down.  Then just used a strong spatula to mix it by hand.  However it is enough for about 1.75 of the large sugarveil molds.

That's really great news--thanks for being the guinea pig! 

I'm so very glad that it worked well for you!

I have tried to make this twice and each time it is a glob. What am I doing wrong? is the cornstarch measured in teaspoon or tablespoon? I see two different variations. Does tylose go bad? Mine is maybe 18 months old and has been in a sealed container, but as soon as I add the boiling water, it becomes gel. It is CK brand.

Tylose is supposed to be a gel when it gets wet so that's normal. Try this recipe I came up with , it worked well but it adds another gum and reserves the tylose until the end of the mixing part. Creepy and rubbery but it worked. http://acaketorememberva.blogspot.com/2013/10/homemade-sugarveilelastic-icing.html
