This glue is perfect for all kinds of sugarwork and it is very quick to make. Here you can see how to make Tylo glue:
This is what you will need:
1 tsp. of Tylo powder (CMC)
approx. 30 tsp. of boiled cooled water
1 plastic container with lid
Mix water and powder in the container. Close with the lid and shake well. Leave overnight so the Tylo will dissovle into a clear thick gel. It should be keept in the refrigerator and away from direct sunlight. Storage life approx. 1 month.
Note: you can add more water if it gets to thick.
Happy Caking

hi
i was wondering where you get the tylo powder from

It depends on where you are located. I buy my Tylo powder from The UK. But you can also get it from GSA http://www.globalsugarart.com/search.php?search=tylo+powder

Is this edigle or will it harden like gumpaste? And, how / when is this used? Could it be used to glue my gumpaste or fondant Gerbera Daisies to buttercream or fondant icing?
Thank you so much and I look forward to coming back to this site.

Ina: I dont know what xanthan gum is. The only thing I use is Tylo powder kneaded in with my sugar paste. If you want to make gum paste (sugar paste) then I would use this recipe: http://www.firstimpressionsmolds.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=5

Thanks so much for the tutorial… I’ve just started working with gumpaste and am learning how to do everything myself. I think it’s better to experiment on my own. This info was so helpful and all your ideas are amazing… thanks so much.
