Try top bond and thank me later. top bond is the white gum with blue cover that carpenters use. when you start to use it, you might be tempted to starch your boxers too. lol

For best quality starching, use Top Bond
Direstion of Use:
To starch a shirt for example, disolve a spoonful of top bond in very little warm water to ensure that d bond fully dissolves. When fully dissolved, mix with little more water but make sure the water u add is just enough for ur shirt to fully absorb without remainder. (i.e. No wastage and best starching).
When u have done d mixing, dip ur washed shirt into d starch mixture and bath it well in d mixture to mke sure it absorbs it fully, then glady spread it without squeazing any water off d cloth.

The best spreading posture/position is on green grass. This ensures that d starching is uniform and not just pronounced at d edges of d cloth.
Try this method and bring ur offering of thanks.

Try Cormart Renew cold water starch. It's in sachets.
Directions:
1. Pour 1 cup of water in a bowl. Add starch
2. Stir continuously till it dissolves.
3. Dip shirt fully in. Leave for 20mins or 30mins.
4. Remove shirt and spread out in the sun. Don't squeeze out water from the shirt. Hang it like that.

How safe is it to use for starch?

It is positioned as an adhesive for inanimate objects in art or construction works.

what's the safety in applying it on clothing that a human will wear?!
