Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone can suggest a better glue for gumpaste flowers than the gumglue made with gumpaste and water. I'm trying to make a fantasy flower and I'm having a hard time getting it to stay glued together.

Are the pieces you are trying to glue together wet or dry? Moist gum paste can be glued with the gum glue but dry pieces cannot - they need royal icing.

I like to use melted chocolate for gluing dry to dry. It sets up immediately.
