Does anyone know if MMF is good for sculpting figures? Is there something better to use.
TIA
I've used MMF for sculpting, but it seems to take forever to dry on its own. I now use commercial fondant or gumpaste (or you can mix the two) and it dries much faster. There is a post on here somewhere about mixing Polident (yes - denture powder!) to MMF to help it dry. I haven't tried it and i'm not sure of the ratio, but I'm sure if you do a search you'll be able to find it!
Hmmm..Polident huh!!! Sounds odd but whatever works I guess. Any other suggestions?
I agree, using MMF on its own for figures takes forever to dry. You can mix it with gumpaste or gum-tex to help it dry faster and harder. But, for me personally, I still find that even adding those it takes too long for me (I'm so impatient! 
). So I stick with straight gumpaste or mix with Wilton Fondant for figures (I use the Wilton brand only when I know the pieces will not be eaten).
MMF by itself will take forever to dry. Mixing it 50/50 with gum paste will help. It still takes time, but, it will dry much more quickly. Straight gum paste dries the fastest (and is not to be eaten, in my opinion). Hopefully, you'll find the combination that makes your work easier and your sculpture to your satisfaction.
