Hey, what papier maché recipe do you guys use? Which do you think is most effective?

I am torn between using just flour and water, or using corn starch and water. I am Canadian and cannot buy liquid corn starch for reasons unknown.

And should I spray my work with acrylic sealant before painting?

Plaster and water. Or maybe joint compound and water (I've seen it cheaper than plaster).

Both will be cheaper and stronger than either of your options, and will last longer.

use flour or corn starch only for a VERY short-term project. Like, a few days, a week at most....
Once the bugs find it, there will be no stopping them and you will have to throw the whole thing out.

And I thought that corn starch was solid?... I am USA and work for a grocery store chain, and don't ever remember seeing liquid corn starch
besides, you can just add water to it anyway.

Liquid starch is in the laundry area. Makes for stiff collars and shit. There is also spray starch.
