I also use my home brew...8 parts water, 1 part Vodka and a few drops of lavender essence. If smell bother you don't use it because Vodka does not smell. hehe... my DH is a minister so I ask my friend to buy the Vodka for me....

I use vodka instead of cornstarch. Vodka is starchy...it is made from potatoes. A little more expensive but it's only three ounces to a spay bottle filled with water...and if you don't drink, the vodkas lasts forever...it does here. I use it in two things...homemade starch and homemade vanilla. I have no idea if it attracts critters though

If you make the flour mixture too thick you would end up with glue. Ar a child I did a great deal of cutting up pictures and sticking into scrap books. Mum made up a glue mixture of flour and water for me to use especially as we shared a house and I had to be quiet all the time. Sewing day was Tuesday afternoon when we went to a group.
