 I have done a bit of googling and have found this..

Hi I have just discovered that "Liquid" is just "Powdered" heated with just a dash of water to stop it going into a solid lump when it cools down. This works just fine with plastic icing for sugar craft. we moved from a big city to a farming community and could only find the powdered form here. What do they say about "necessity being the mother of invention...." By patmar on Sep 29, 2007 10:34 AM from the Chow website

I think you will have to do a bit of trial and error by putting a couple of cups of powdered glucose in a bowl and adding water drop by drop and mixing well with a knife.  Good luck and let me know how you get on.

Unfortunately, powdered glucose plus water will only give you sugar water.

With reference to icing, Glucose syrups, like  US corn syrup and liquid glucose, are actually invert sugars. They help prevent crystallization, improve the texture, and help keep the product soft.

Syrups like Rice syrup, maltose syrup, golden syrup, or even just honey will do the job - all are partially inverted sugars  ...
