I have 3 of the tappits, which i hate, i can never get the letters out of the darn thing even tho i use cornstarch...how do you all make your letters look so nice
From what I've read, they just dip the mold in powdered sugar (= confectionar's sugar) and then use the tappit. Do you understand what I mean?
But I don't know from experience, I haven't used them yet 
rub some crisco on your fondant. the letters come out much easier
What i usualy do is when you have used your tappit and the letters are in it, i put it in the freezer for a little wile (30 sec.) and then tap it, they come out easy 
watch out with the freezer tip tappits are super breakable.
Anyways.. I use cornstarch as well fondant and marzipan are sweet enough so all the extra sugar is a nono in my kitchen. What i do is roll out the fondant/marzipan. Cut it into strips that are wide enough for the letters. I let te strips rest for a minute.. and then i start tapping. Oh yeah and i dont use anything on the tappits they are starch/fat free
Huishoudfolie, you know the plastic foil, never fails

What I do is when I rolled out the fondant I let it rest for a little while. When the fondant is a little firmer I press the tappits in and they usualy come out just fine!
(sorry for my english)
I never use corn starch or crisco. 2 important things is first, make sure that you rol out your fondant or marzipan thin (not paper thin, though). Second, press the tappit firmly. Do not press too hard, otherwise the letters cannot come out easily.
Thank you

hello doosch
how exactly do you use the cling film (huishoudfolie) when using tappits?
thanks
maimi
I wonder if she puts the cling film over the fondant...?
No...cos that doesnt work either i tried last night....yoo whoo....Maimi where are you...lol
the idea is that you put the cling wrap over your fondant and then press the tappit in 
I really dont get why it so "hard" for most people to use tappits 
I just made 5 of every letter in 10 different colors and 2 different styles of tappits 
Fondant with a little tylose.. rolled really thin.. let the strips set for minimum 15 mins... and the letters literally fly out of the tappits. You do kinda need to be a little rough with them.. a tiny tap wont work.. you need to but some elbow into it whahahahaha

Ok ty...will try it again
Use mexican paste or fondant with tylose, and roll out the very thin. Then leave it alone for a few minutes (not too long). Then press in the tappit and leave it for a minute or two. Then tap the tappit on the side of the table, and your letter will come flying out!
If you like, you can come by some time and I will show you how it works..
I live nearby 
Oh....Joyce cool ty....i will take you up on that....
