Difference Between Tylose Powder And Gum-Tex?

I have seen the gum-tex at Michael's and AC Moore. Have yet to find tylose. I want to make my fondant harder without having to put the actual gumpaste in it so that I still have the darker color I had orginally with the fondant. Can I use gum-tex in it?? (uh...and is gum-tex a powder?)
Yes you can use gum tex to make your fondant harder. And yes it is just a powder you can kneed into your fondant. How much depends on how hard you want it and how much time you want to work with it.
You won't find tylose at a craft store. It is something you will have to go to a cake supply store or order online for.
I use gum tex more often than not. It has a smell to it, but it isn't a bad smell. And since it is used to harder up fondant for decorations people usually don't eat I don't worry about it.
