Default Can you share your experience with starch that you mix up yourself?

I have a bottle of Sta-Flo starch that you dilute yourself. I figured medium would do it. I believe I used 2 parts water to 1 part starch. However, I scorched my fabric with my new Oliso iron. My iron is set on cotton/dry because I'm using cotton! I don't use steam with any irons.
I've never had this experience with Flatter, Mary Ellen's Best Press, and Magic Quilting Spray so I don't know if the trouble is with my iron or the starch. The reason I wanted to try starch was because a lot of you say it does a great job for stabilizing fabric.
Thanks for any help.
