What does that do? Give elasticity? How strong is it when dry?

I'm curious about this myself. I'm hoping that's what would happen. icon_confused.gif

Just thought I'd throw in another question about fondant. What about adding glycerin to MMF? Not sure what it would do but since we're on the subject....

Tylose is an artificial gum product, so adding it to fondant gives you a result similar to adding gumtex. It makes it more gum paste-like. It's stronger than fondant, dries faster, and can be rolled thinner but will be more brittle.

Yep tylose makes it dry faster and harder and I think they glycerin is for moisture or elasticity.... wait maybe I shouldn't be answering that part if I don't know for sure!
