I just eyeball it, the more you add the faster it gets hard


I took a class with Lorraine McKay (aine2) and she gave us instructions on how to add tylose to fondant. She has a great tutorial on youtube that explains everything.

Hope this helps...




I know this is an old thread but I added 1/4 to 105g pack and it is still quite soft. How long does it take to harden? Has it by the window?
You don't want it to harden before you use it for something. Have you made something with it that is staying too soft, or are you wanting the ball of fondant to harden?
It will still take some time for figures to dry properly - 24 hours or so. If you add too much, the fondant will harden and go crumbly before you can do anything with it.


AJust watched the video as suggested. Very informative and helpful, thanks! :)

Oh my goodness - this is not the kind of thing you need a video for. The amount depends on what kind of fondant you use and how hard you want it to get or how fast you want it to get hard. Debbie Brown recommends 2 t per each pound of fondant and this is about what I usually use in Satin Ice.
Just kneed it into the fondant. No big deal. It can be used immediately. Or you can let it rest a few minutes to overnight. With experience you'll see ultimately there's not a great deal of difference.
I store mine in plastic bags just twisted shut and put inside a fondant bucket with the lid on.
