LoL, kind of confused about it, don't want anybody to misunderstand.<br />usually i used grace in caning. you can't do it like polymer clay; you can't elongated it since some parts can dries before the rest of it. but i've learned how to keep it wet enough so i can elongated them, but it still a big risk to take!

It does make a decent pink though so I would just recycle those.<br /><br />Thanks for the Kato idea. Seeing that I just got like 6 pounds of premo from my last order I think I will have to leech out the premo until it is like Kato. It could be done but it is a pain to condition later. Will report findings after I move for sure.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103549453129484518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773780918582045981.post-69889366583455933472009-11-15T11:20:22.191+08:002009-11-15T11:20:22.191+08:00haha, that reminds me that i have several huge bag...haha, that reminds me that i have several huge bags full of failed strawberry canes (and a small good ones). sometimes i use them on cakes too, covering the top with other things so it's badness not too visible.
