Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My 8 year old son and I were able to make a truck-load (a quadruple batch in a pint sized plastic take-out container) of half-way decent gum with this kit. It was time consuming and the directions are not completely accurate. For example, it took much longer to melt the gum base in the beginning than they stated. We kept nuking it at 20-second intervals until it was workable. We also had to keep reheating it (15 seconds at a time) during the kneading process. When it's warm, it's easier to knead. When it cools and starts getting stiff, reheat it. Other than all the reheating, this kit was a good thing.
Note: The corn syrup was crystallized and we ended up using our own. They mentioned this in the instructions and indicated that it could be melted down, but we didn't want to bother with that since we had our own.
I was a little nervous about getting this product based on the 1 star review I read here, but my son had already written to Santa. The key to making this work is you have to keep re-heating and see it through to the end. Once you get through the kneading process, and you get all the sugar worked into it, it will turn out as expected. Experience with bread making helped a lot.
BTW: A quadruple batch is A LOT OF GUM.
