re: Red gumpaste - a sticky situation......

Here’s a tip for you Julia. I don’t know how big your figure is, but what I do is place my object/figure, whatever fondant/gumpaste on a plate or metal tray, put it in the oven with the rack as close to the top as possible. Of course, depending on the size of your figure, will depend where you place your rack. Turn on the oven light, close the door. Leave in overnight with the oven light on and there’s enough heat from the bulb to dry out your figure. May take 2 days, or more. Obviously if you have to use your oven, you take it out. If you need to place back in the oven, wait for oven to be completely cool before doing this tip again. You want to dry your figure, not melt it with the heat from a recently used oven. Hope this helps. Been using this trick for a long time.,
