Do you use gum tex with ready(Wilton)gp,or only when making it from scratch?

I believe when making from scratch! Since the ready made should already have the ingredients to make it dry hard.

Wilton sells ready made fondant:

And fondant and gumpaste accessories:

You can add gumpaste to fondant to make the mixture dry firmer and faster. (If that was your question.)

Thank you guys. I meant use for ready gumpaste. OK I see it's for made from scratch,I guess that was a waste of $8.00.but who knows maybe I'll make it myself next time.

You can also add it to regular fondant to make it dry harder and give it some stretch while working with it.

I'm having a problem with the cone(the first stage for the rose)hope you know what i mean,when I place it on the wire ,after adding a few petals it just comes off and brakes.
Any one knows what I'm talking about?Do you have any suggestions?
It's so aggravating specially when it's my first time making and using gp.
Thank you again.

Are you letting the cone dry completely before adding anything else? Also- suggestion from someone else to crook the end of the wire before forming the cone...im trying that next time!

Well I didn't wait long enough,I did bend the end of the wire into like half a circle.
I think I need to let it dry longer than I did.
Thank you so much for all your help.
