I just bought a sugarcraft gun and thot the instructions would let me know how to load it... there was no mention of that at all. It tells you what results you will get with the different discs and that's it. How dumb is that?? Or am I the dumb one???? Please help......

Im not sure what version you have, there are several. I have the one here

The front part where the paste is coming out of, unscrews. You pull the part opposite all the way out, and this will give you room to insert the paste. You have to use well kneaded gumpaste or fondant (i prefer gumpaste), then you put the tip back and you're ready to go.

Beryl's has the Sugarcraft gun for $32.50 and that is the cheapest I have seen it. So many uses for the gun--making ropes, tassles, borders, doing string work. Uses are unlimited! thumbs_up.gif
