Nic Lodge mentions using slightly beaten egg white if the gumpaste piece is for display and not to be eaten, otherwise a little meringue podwer mixed in water.

You can dissolve approximately 1 tsp of Gump Paste (separated into many small pieces) in 1-2 T of water. Let it sit for at least an hour and you will have gum glue. You can keep this mixture in a jar and use for 2-3 weeks.
