I use the Matr and this helps with drying. Now if it is tearing it could be because you have too much excess and it is pulling and tearing before you can cover fully. I smooth out the top and down the side an 1inch below the top. then pull the excess in closer the the cake and cut away what is obviously too much then continue to smooth it down the sides. Fondax is stretch and can pull so you have to work fast at the beginning.
