1 part Tylose (10ml)

Pinch of citric acid
Add tylose and Citric acid to the water
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.
Use a larger tube than end product needed to allow for shrinkage.
If desired royal icing dots can be added to piped design.
Would this be sturdy enough to make white picket fencing out of ? If not, have any suggestions ? Maybe dip pretzel sticks in white chocolate ? Just want something that will hold up through moving to display area and then back home again. I LOVE this site ! Robyn
Would this work for making thin-like ropes to hang from a ship's mast? I am working on making a ship for this year's gingerbread competition. Thanks for such a wonderful site.
