Cornflour paste is acid free, and very cheap and super quick to make. Great for chine colle or sizing papers.
To make:
In
a small saucepan:
1tsp
cornflour to 3 dessert spoons of water.
Mix well and add 3 more dessert spoons of water.
Stir
over heat for 2 mins til “cream” becomes a thin “custard”.
(Can
be cooked in a microwave 1 min, stir every 6 secs).
Use
less water for sticking down
prints, more for pasting chine
colle or sizing paper.
I store a batch in a small face cream jar.
Best stored in the fridge to help it last longer. Lasts a week or two.
FAQ: What is a dessert spoon?
A dessert spoon is a spoon designed specifically for eating dessert. Similar in size to a soup spoon (intermediate between a teaspoon and a tablespoon) but with an oval rather than round bowl, it typically has a capacity around twice that of a teaspoon. (Wikipedia.)
