I definitely use a spray of vodka all over the surface. It leaves it totally brighter and shiny in some instances. The vodka evaporates but if you are opposed to using a liquor use a clear pure extract. The alchohol in it does the same thing. You will be very pleased with the result no matter which you choose to use. And yes, Duff recommended spraying it with vodka and you see them do it all the time.

I too use only a thin coating of shortening on my mat - no cornstarch, no powdered sugar. The fondant doesn't dry out or crack when putting it on the cake.

Spray it with vodka using your airbrush.
