Mclaren, I recommend using a thick vinyl sheet for rolling out your fondant.

Now, when gets elephant skin, it happens when the very outer surface of the fondant has dried and then wrinkles when it is moved. Droopy would definitely not be the word to describe what elephant skinned-fondant looks like. Droopy is an altogether different problem, probably caused by the fondant being too stretchy, like from too much shortening or too little powdered sugar...or it could even be that the buttercream underneath was too soft and too thick, so it slid downward under the weight of the fondant.
