Can I use golden syrup to make modeling chocolate, or is there another substitute as in England I cannot get corn syrup thanks
I can't see why it wouldn't work but it would mess with any colours you were trying to make. I think I read somewhere glucose syrup works too and it's clear and no flavour. Or maybe honey?
I have made modelling chocolate with glucose before and it works the recipe was from UK so I am thinking you should be able to get glucose there.
Golden syrup has a very strong colour, which would definitely create issues with white chocolate.
I only use glucose to make modelling chocolate as corn syrup is an imported product here and therefore very expensive. Through trial and error I have discovered that the glucose from the supermarket is not the best to use as it has things added to it and doesn't make nice smooth modelling chocolate. The glucose available from the health food shop is the best because it is pure and produces a lovely smooth, easy to use modelling choc.
Of course that is the glucose available here, it maybe different where you live. Check the labels because glucose is not all the same.
I also can't get corn syrup but actually our glucose syrup is made from corn (check the ingredients on the back) so I use that. Substitute 1:1.
Here's a good article about syrups :

Thankyou very much for all your replies, I will have a go with the glucose and see how it goes, thanks again
