I had never heard of skinner blends before, but your post sounds so interesting that I followed some of your links. Seems like a great hobby!

However, they do get extremely chewy at that point so while they're still edible, they're not the nicest for eating. Mike McCarey tried a piece once before I could stop him and said, "You've invented edible vinyl!" Because that's what it's like when dried.

It is still very flexible at that point, though. Just not floppy.

Earlier this week it was 80 and sunny and today it's in the 50's and raining. I made "blood" drips and hung them off a plate overnight. They've held up well and are only a little stiffer this morning. If we get a warm, sunny day next week, I'll put them outside and see how they do.

If you'd like to see a first time user's experience, I posted a video on my little cake company's Facebook page (2 Chicks Cake). I made it for the client so she can really see what it's like.

Thanks!

It'll get soft and saggy first, so the key is to ensure you don't expect it to stand upright in any kind of heat.

High humidity will also make it melt faster, especially to touch.

It really depends on how hot you're talking about. I wouldn't expect it to stay solid on a summer day outside in the sun here in Texas. In the shade back home in the Toronto area, maybe.

But put it this way: fondant and buttercream won't be doing much better in the heat either. In fact I'm not sure which will liquefy first between buttercream and gummy, but it'll be close between them. Maybe I should run a test on that someday…

It's working for me!
I have a zombie cake due the 1st of June and I'm wondering how to gummy holds up to heat and humidity? Some melting would add to bloody effect but too much will just be a mess and disappoint the birthday girl. The event will be held outside.
Do you have any inkling if it will hold up?
TIA!
