The rubber stars cut perfectly, I've made them a few times now and they stay together very well through a screen. I just want to know is it the parlon that adds elasticity to the mix so it stays together or are there other stars that will screen cut?

I think the elasticity is exactly what is needed. the "rubber" star formulae have been developed specifically for screen extrusion.

SGRS has kind of a similar gooey property when good and wet. It may be something to look into for a water bound technique. Yes, otherwise you do need something like parlon to be able to efficiently use the screen extrusion technique. It must have something to do with wet adhesion strength, which dextrin has relatively little in the way we use it.
