Sugar rods?? I never heard of that...sounds interesting...tell me more, please. 
I've seen a technique where they use sugar rods in a glue gun. Does anyone have any experience with this? Do they just pour the sugar into a tube to mold and harden and then stick it in? do you have to use a low or high heat glue gun? Thanks!
Where did you see this? and how did they use the technique? was it a demo? did you ask the person using the method?
was it on tv..did you research the Shows web site?
Can you clarify your question!? please??
If you know how to do sugar pulling this will come in handy. Sugar work is dangerous at times so this is something that I do not recommend to the faint of heart!
You can boil sugar or Isomalt and fill plastic clear tubing found at the Hardware store. After the sugar has hardened they can be cut down into sticks. Yiu have to have a glue gun just for this. The only purpose this serves is if you do a lot of pulled sugar work. The tubing cannot be reused so it comes at a cost to you.
This was seen on one of The Food Network Challenges with large sugar showpieces.
so..what they are making are edible glue sticks? what a lot of freaking work! first you have to make the sugar..find the tubes to pour it into..ouch!
then cut them store them...use them in the glue gun to hold sugar pieces together..
When I do sugar work I just keep a pot of hot sugar or isomalt to dip my pieces into...I can even put a ginger bread house together with the hot sugar...
Oh well, some thing new to learn about..lol
lol, I've been online doing research on these..can't find anything on this.
Next step is to call the FOOD NETWORK...lol
maybe they can give me a heads up as to the name of the person using or the one that developed this...and we can go right to the source..lol
The King of Sugar is Ewald Notter.
The Notter School is in Orlando Florida and you can try calling or sending him an e-mail.
He or his staff can answer any question you have about sugar.
