Rice Starch

To make any paper made useful for putting anything containing liquid on to the surface of the paper it must first be sized. This can be done with starch, here's a picture of the rice starch I've been using.


This can be brushed on but i usually spray it on as it gives a more even coverage. Potato starch can also be used.


The paper that has been sprayed must be dried evenly on both sides so placing it on a drying rack would be great, but a piece of wire mesh works just as well.
