Here's a link to directions from a lady on the wilton forum who actually makes her own piping gel.

Teryy,

Piping gel pretty much looks like snot when you buy it premade! You must be on the right track icon_razz.gif

I'd put it in the fridge for a while and see if it sets up a bit. Maybe the gelatin needs to cool or something?

I had this happen to me the first time too... I was able to fix it in a second batch, but I can't remember exactly what I disocovered. I either boiled the water instead of just heating or didn't heat the full combination long enough. .. I am thinking the second, but my poor brain can't remember for sure.

I know the booger stuff never worked. I had to throw it out.
