Need some starch powder
mads - 18/2/09 at 06:22 PM

As the topic title says, I need some starch powder. I can find places that do a starch spray but not just pure powder. Have tried the following so far:

Morrisons (and its pharmacy)
Wilkinsons
Homebase
Aldi

Anyone any ideas where else I could try?

A proper hardware shop if you have one nearby.

cheers all. managed to get hold of some in the end.

Steve - it's used with iodine tincture to test for hyperhidrosis (abnormally increased sweating)

Sounds a bit too technical for me...

What's the difference between standard sweating and excessive sweating as far as Testing goes?

If you are not doing anything to cause excess sweating then you shouldn't see sweating being produced (or very little).


here is some info on it
