FAQs
Is the PME Petal Glue edible?
Yes, it is formulated with food-grade ingredients, making it safe for use on all edible cake decorations.
Can I use this to glue non-edible decorations?
Yes, it is suitable for both edible and non-edible craft projects, providing a versatile solution for cake artists.
How long does it take to dry?
While it starts to bond immediately, it generally takes a few minutes to fully set. For heavy items, it is recommended to support them until it feels secure.
Should I keep this in the refrigerator?
No, store it in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Refrigeration is unnecessary and may affect the texture.
What is the main ingredient?
The adhesive is primarily based on Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).
Troubleshooting
The glue feels too thick
This is often due to evaporation. Add a very small amount of clean water to the jar and stir gently to return it to the desired consistency.
Glue is not sticking
Ensure the surface is not greasy or too damp. If using on fondant, ensure the surface has dried slightly (formed a crust) before applying the glue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your PME Petal Glue, always replace the screw lid tightly after every use to prevent evaporation. Store the bottle in a cool, dry area, specifically avoiding direct sunlight or proximity to heat sources like ovens, as heat can alter the consistency of the adhesive. The glue is compatible with almost all standard sugar craft materials, including gum paste, fondant, and modeling chocolate.
