Default Sugar Veil

Has anyone used this product? I've a request for a corporate cake and am thinking of buying this stuff to do a certain part of the design that needs to be flexible.

As you can see, if you go to the website, it can really be manipulated. Don't need to make a whole wedding dress (must have been sticky to wear?). Don't know what it is made of, but it is edible. I'm just wondering how easy it is to pipe and control.

I haven't worked with it (shame on me, because I've had a sample of it sitting here for 2 years to try), but I just saw an amazing example of it in Pastry's Best magazine, on the cover. Check this out:

That colorful cake with the bow is decorated mostly with sugar veil. Cool stuff.
