Question

How do you clean it if you want to use it again?

Hazel Meehan

Community Answer

You can only really clean the potato starch mud. To do this, put the mud in a jar and add water to the jar. Shake the jar and leave it to sit for a couple of minutes. The mud will settle at the bottom and all the dirt and water will be on top. Pour the water out quickly, and it will take most of the dirt with it.

Question

Does it still work if I use 1 cup cornstarch and 1/2 a cup water?

Community Answer

Yes, of course. It has the same ratio, which is all that matters. You can double, half, triple, etc. any recipe, and will just end up with more or less of the final product.

Question

Can I use flour instead?

Nathan Wang

Community Answer

If you use flour, it will look very similar, but will feel different. Try adding a tiny bit more water a little at a time. If you added too much water, try adding more flour a tablespoon at a time.
