I want to put fabric on my walls instead of wallpaper because it is removable (my dorm room). But I can't find liquid starch anywhere. Where can I buy it?

Answer 1

They have an online store.  Just go back to the home page and click that link,

You might also try someplace like Michael's or any large craft supply.

Then there is the laundry department of the supermarket.  One brand is Sta Puf; look along the bottom shelf.

Last you could make some yourself:

If you decided to make your own starch, only make what you can use in a day or 2. It does go rancid.

1. Put 1 1/2 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. While waiting for the water to boil, dissolve 2 - 3 teaspoons of cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of cold water in a cup or small bowl. Keep mixing the cornstarch while waiting for the water to boil.

3. After the water boils, pour the cornstarch mixture into the boiling water and stir for a minute or so. The liquid will be clear or slightly cloudy.

4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

5. Transfer the starch mixture to a spray bottle and starch away! Throw it out after a couple of days.

Answer 2

Wal-Mart, Target or local grocery store on the laundry aisle.
