What Do You Use To Prop Up Your Fondant/gumpaste While It Dries?

i recently built a ruffle right onto a cake and i had read that cotton balls are perfect for holding fondant into place, so that's what i used.
when everything was dry, i went back to remove the cotton, expecting it to slip right out, however, it stuck all over the sugar flower and it was such a hassle to pick off all the little fuzzies.
what do you use?
AWadded up paper towel is good. Also makeup wedges (unused of course!) are really handy, I use them a lot when building sugar figures, and when propping things on the side of cakes.
Balled up cling wrap---the fondant doesn't stick to it. Sometimes, if what I'm making is really delicate then I make double sure that the fondant doesn't stick to the cling wrap by rubbing a little crisco on my 'ball' of cling wrap :)
I used cotton wool inside mini gumpaste bows once - it was a nightmare! never again.
Cling film is what I use now :-)
AI never thought to use make up wedges. ...thanks for that I always use cling film or kitchen foil going forward I'll prob use make up wedges though xx
