Good morning,

Living in the UK I am having starch issues! Best Press is expensive due to it's being imported and Sta-Flo is unavailable. I have google and googled to find other liquid starches but have had no success.

I have two choices, continue to buy Best Press or make my own!

I've googled homemade recipes which seem to be fairly simple, just a mixture of cornflour (is this known by the same name in USA?) and water.

I would imagine that this mixture would go off after a time - how long? Also would it smell unpleasant? Can I add anything to it to deter little creatures from feasting on it?

I would welcome any advice regarding the pros and cons of using homemade starch. If I can save money by not buying Best Press, that would be useful.
