I have never covered styrofoam before, and the last four attempts haven't work. I am using MMF, spraying with a mist of water before putting the MMF on.
Any suggestions? It keep tearing on the top edge. I finally threw the MMF away. I am so frustrated.

This is what I typically do. DH sands the top edge a little so that it is slightly rounded.
I also agree with rolling the fondant a little thicker. I definitely roll it thicker than I would for an actual cake -- and I have used MMF for a dummy before. It is so much cheaper than the Satin Ice that I normally use and is easy to whip up in a hurry.
Good luck!
