How to make Modelling Paste
Making Modeling Paste is easy kneading Tylo Powder into sugar paste (approx a half teaspoon of Tylo to 250g of sugar paste).

More Tylo Powder gives a firmer paste that dries harder but is more inclined to crack while working, knead in a little white fat (Trex) and use white fat on hands and tools to help prevent this.

Modelling paste can also be made by mixing 50/50 flower paste with sugar paste.
Edible glue recipe

Mix 1 part Tylo Powder to 30 parts water.

Leave overnight, add more water to achieve required consistency.
