Deko Gel Replacement

So early on, when I started using polymer clay, I looked around for Fimo Deko Gel--a clear kind of liquid clay which one can use to make realistic looking jams and jellies. Sadly, it wasn't available in the store I often went to to buy my clay stuffs. It was only after six months that I finally found Deko Gel--and saw it's price. I thought--I really need it. It's been epic hard to make realistic looking jellies with TLS, but I badly didn't want to spend that much for deko gel. I mean, really, how much jelly do I need?

Nevertheless, I'm the kind of artist who can't move on to the next art piece unless she has finished what she has in mind, so I began saving up for it. Now I have a bad habit of going into bookstores, reading the books and NEVER buying any books. Heehee. Anyway, last week, I was waiting for a friend of mine to meet me up, so I picked up a book about resin air-dry clay. Obviously, it couldn't be put in the oven like our usual polymer clay, so I looked at it, wondering how they did the sweets, as I've never heard of air-dry liquid clay. Sounds kind of oxymoronic to me, really. Anyway, when I found out, it was so simply, so practical, that I practically had to ask myself why I never thought of it.

So without further ado, here's a video of what you can use to replace deko gel:
