I'm going to use gumpaste for the first time tonight!!! YIPEE!!!.....
I just have one question before I start...... 
what do I use to attach or glue the pieces?? With the fondant I've used water.....is it the same?
ok I have two....does the gumpaste stiffen when in storage? You know how with fondant you usually have to reheat it a little to make it pliable again.....does gumpaste do this??
i believe for glue you use equal parts warm water and meringue powder?
i've only used gumpaste once (practicing), but my gumpaste is still soft sealed in ziploc for about a week now.
but i'm curious how long it's good for?

On the can I have it says :
If keeping longer than a week refrigerate....lasts up to 6 weeks.
isnt merq just like eggs whites? I wonder if there is an alternative to egg whites....Although i know no one will actually eat the figure...I just dont like messing with eggs whites you should see me when I use the royal icing....aint no finger licking there!!! 
Vanilla extract works well to glue pieces together.
ok...I tried to make my first rose with gumpaste tonight.....
I really like how easily the gumpaste smooths.....but it dries VERY fast!!!!
I think I will like it with the figures!!
I used vanilla to attach and it did work...I just used too much then some of the petals started to mush on me!
Yes a little vanilla extract goes a long way. Be sure to use a small brush to apply lightly.
