I used starch for a while but find I like to use light body Magic Sizing better. I puts body into my blocks without any of the stiffness or shine that can occur with starch.

These are great tips, especially 1st and last ones. Thanks!

Great tips. I wish I had some to add but I don't right off.
Well okay. Instead of sitting and looking at something and wondering how hard it will be "just begin" the rest easy.
I'm a beginner so I say that to myself alot. :thumbup:
