SC - strengthening sugar sculpture

[LordVoldai at aol.com]

from the recipies i have seen, you should use confectioners (i.e. powdered ) 
sugar for this application, it will dissolve better in the eggwhites and give 
you a stronger bond.  also try using some sort of gum resin to help 
strengthen it.  period product was gum tragacanth but it is expensive now. i 
use gum tex which you can obtain at any store selling cake decorating 
supplies (michaels) or thru mail order from wiltons.
