Why we use cornflour
Quite a bit actually. We use it as a substitute for talcum powder for some pretty serious reasons.

We’ve also found it to help the wax set quicker.
However, studies have questioned whether talcum powder is doing more harm than good.
Talcum powder is made from talc, which has trace elements of magnesium, silicon and oxygen that absorb moisture.

This was such an insightful read, and I really appreciate you sharing your extensive experience with cornflour!

It’s fantastic to have this comprehensive knowledge drop all in one place. I’ve already forwarded it to a couple of friends who I know will benefit immensely…
