How do I soften up gumpaste that is very stiff, not dried out, just very tight and not elastic?
(hope that makes sense)

If you made if from scratch, try using a little less tylose next time you make it. I have a recipe that yielded incredibly stiff gumpaste that dried too quickly (the recipe that comes with the cake cricuit) so the next time I made it, I decreased the amount of tylose by 1/3 and it works perfectly.
Shortening works great for stiff store bought or other recipes that I have tried but didn't work so hot on the super stiff GP 
HTH!!!
