You can try kneading in more Gum-Tex or Tylose powder if you have any, just a little at a time.
For a gum paste recipe that works brilliantly and never fails though, try this from Nicholas Lodge ~

Good luck!

Thank you! I’ll see if I can find any of those products at the store.

Also if you are in a rush, Wilton fondant+tylose powder makes for a pretty good gumpaste as well. Wilton fondant tastes nasty but gumpaste usually does as well and people aren’t supposed to eat what you make from it really. I think Inspired by Michelle also has a gumpaste recipe that’s modified from Nicholas Lodge. I think it has slightly longer workability time than Lodge’s from what I read.

Thank you 6bittersweets.
I decided to try my hand at modelling chocolate (made with candy melts though), and have had the results I wanted. I’m so thrilled. My daughter’s party had to be rescheduled for next week (she was sick) and I can’t wait to put her cake together with the stuff I was able to make from modelling chocolate :)
