Re: [BKARTS] Wheat Paste

["Canary, James R" <jcanary@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

i remember many years ago using corn starch paste in a workshop with 
fritz and trudi eberhardt. i usually use wheat but have used corn 
starch in similar situations. i am not talking conservation here but it 
should be available in a rural area. you might want to try it and see 
how it works for you.
