How Do You Stick Fondant To A Polystrene Dummy?

I just covered in saran wrap then put the fondant on. It worked really well. This one was a practice. I think for the real deal, I will ice it first. Just because I think that the real layers of cake (2 are real, 1 is dummie) the top edge will not be as sharp. Plus, I think it will give the dummy a little weight to it. I found it difficult to work with because it was so light. But I'll get it. Nothing better to practice on than a dummy. 
my professor in class told us to just brush it with a little bit of corn syrup....then you won't have to make up a batch of buttercream, and the fondant will keep the nice shape of the dummy. BUT....be careful you don't put a lot on, or it will seep out the bottom...just a tiny bit to make it tacky!
Yep, just water works great. You can soak the fondant off when you want to change it and while you're working on it, you can move the fondant around and not get stuff in it.

Absolutely but the water is 100% foolproof as I said wet the brush 1 or 2 time and brush over polystyrene, when the fondant touches the foam it goes like a sticky consistency, just do not let it touch the opposit side as it will show all water marke EVEN if you blow on it ( I know very hygienic tiny droplets miniscule will show up After I alway brush it down with a good sable brush even better a really good make up brush. Good luck
If you get water on the finished surface of fondant, just dab it/brush it lightly with a bit of cornstarch while still wet and it will "disappear".
