Anyone Ever Have A Problem With Sticky Black Satin Ice?

Just got some yesterday, and it is ultra sticky. Sticks all over my hands, my silicone mat, everywhere. Can I salvage this somehow?
Is it related to being delivered on a 100 degree day?
Waiting for a delivery today on some black Satin Ice....and it's about 95 degrees here. I used it for the first time last night and thought maybe I had misread all the information about it being easy to work with. I found it very soft and sticky. I posted earlier this morning about my piece sticking to the sugared surface it's drying on.
I have some and it was ordered during the hot season. I picked it up on my way to work and I lugged that 50# box into work with me 'cause I din want it cooking in my car all day.
It's sticky & soft but I'm ok with that.
Never had a problem with Satin Ice...but don't think I'll order Fondarific again...
Hensor, why didn't you like the Fondrific, I really like the taste but just like the Satin Ice I kinda find it hard to work with but then I am kinda new to fondant.
not that I need 50lbs of black fondant but, where does one get a 50lb box of black fondant?
I got it from Gordon foods, food purveyor, here in Elvistown 10C.
No no no it was 20 pounds--so sorry, I was thinking 10 5# packages but no it was 10 TWO pound containers. Duh on me--twenny pounds.
Twenty not fifty. 
I got a big block of white though--twenty pounds or 50# or whatever it was. That's kinda fun.
And for what it's worth-- I tried the (white) Massa Grischuna the American blend I believe it was--exceptional fondant. Brilliant. From Albert Uster
It was on sale!
I ordered from Albert Uster themselves--When I try to go to www.auiswiss.com I never get the page but when I google Albert Uster I get there. Go figure.
And it was on sale this summer but I din see it on sale anymore.
But it is the bombshabomb.
Although I like the Satin Ice too.
Most anything but Wilton's huh.
I guess I will try adding powdered sugar but not looking forward to it. It is so sticky and my hands turn black!
I played with a little of it last night and it dried a strange consistency. I made two mini-microphones for an Elvis figurine I am working on, one straight fondant and the other a 50/50 mix. I let them dry overnight and the fondant only one pulverized in my hands. The fondant/gumpaste one broke easily too. I hope this will not be a problem. No time to make any (and I hate making dark colors, hence the order) and a new order won't get here on time unless it's overnight. Ching ching.
I sent a message to GSA to see if they had a solution, just seeing if anyone else had a similiar problem or advice.
Don't add PS, that may just make it even more sticky...and it may dull the dark black down.
Mine was sticky too!! Stuck to EVERYTHING!! I just let it sit out for a little bit and it firmed right up, kind of dried just a bit and now it works great

I notice that all heavily colored fondant is way stickier than just white or lightly colored - even the MMF that we make. I guess you just have to add powdered sugar or cornstarch.
