I was wondering how to make gumpaste and gumpaste glue? I am drawing a complete blank....I think I am having a senior moment!!! LOL![/b]

There are different gumpaste recipes. This is the one that I use: http://www.nicholaslodge.com/gumpaste.htm

It has tylose in the recipe. To make gum glue mix a small amount of tylose with some water and let it dissolve.

You can also purchase premade gumpaste.

I think there are several recipes to make gumpaste, I have not yet made it, but for gumpaste glue you just take a tsp of gumpaste tear it itty bitty pieces of gumpaste and add some water. Then put it in the refrigerator to dissolve. Shake it up everytime you open the fridge, should last about 2 weeks

Don't leave it out at room temp, it will mildew. Don't ask me how I know.

which one will mildrew at room temp.....the tylose/water or the gumpaste/water?

Tylose/water for sure.

damn lol approx how many days left out does it uaually take to mildew? Sorry for all the questions

If you leave it out overnight with a paintbrush stuck in it, it turns grayish black

aw ok lol i was just thinking mailing a small container along with some cake toppers to people cose i thought it would survive at room temp, but there that goes lol

Mine too, but I thought it was discoloration from the metal part of the paintbrush. I didn't use it, just dumped it out. I have left some out before with no paintbrush and it didn't turn colors.

I use that recipe too. For the glue, I put one part gumpaste to two parts water in an empty almond essence bottle and stuck it in the fridge over night, and it worked great. Shake before use.
