First and foremost, buy a hygrometer to monitor your humidity levels. They are $15 or less on amazon. The readings are in real time. The range to use Sugar Goddess paste is 40%-45% humidity levels. Your sugar will behave differently above or below those levels. Below 40% humidity your sugar will be a bit harder, less pliable. Above 45% humidity and your sugar is going to be softer and stickier. To lower your humidity levels, buy a dehumidifier.  To increase your humidity levels, buy a humidifier. If controlling your environment is not pratical, we have recipies designed to preform in both humid and dry environments. If you can provide the humidity level, I can give you sugar designed specifically for that environment. You can also use the humidity level to determine what consistency of paste to use. Levels above 45% humidity, you will need a firmer paste. For levels below 40% humidity, you will need a softer paste. The humidity range of 40%-45% is specific to Sugar Goddess paste. All companies use different recipes for their sugar. No matter what brand of sugar paste, it’s going to react to the humidity level of the environment. There is no reason to struggle through days when humidity levels are high. I have had multiple sugarists working at levels beyond 50% humidity and they did not enjoy those days. There's a easier way. Controlling your environment is easy, inexpensive and will save you both time and money very quickly. New sugarists, if you are struggling or getting stuck often and getting frustrated, the humidity in the environment is affecting your sugar and could be the main reason you are struggling.
