1 part Tylose (10ml)

Pinch of citric acid

Whisk well and allow to stand overnight - keep away from excessive heat and sun.
To check consistency, touch the surface of the mixture with a dry finger, your finger should come away dry.
If desired the mixture can be flavored by replacing part of the water with an equal volume of liquid flavoring, to maintain the correct volume of liquid.
Coloring can achieved by adding powder coloring to the mixture after it has rested.
Stir well and allow to stand for at least 2 hours.
Stir well before use to distribute color.
If liquid color is used, reduce the amount of water.
This mixture shrinks on drying - pipe on grease free paper, preferably glossy.
