Yes, you can use corn starch to achieve a flatter finish when working with polyurethane. By mixing a small amount of corn starch into the polyurethane, it can help reduce the viscosity and improve flow, leading to a smoother application. However, it's important to test this mixture on a small area first, as it may affect the final appearance and durability of the finish. Proper mixing and application techniques are still crucial for optimal results.

Although corn flour and corn starch derive from the same part of the plant, they are NOT the same thing, and in cooking, they behave very differently.

Corn flour and corn starch should not be confused with (or used in place of) corn meal, which, although related, is a totally different product with a totally different purpose.

Yes, you can make quicksand without using corn starch. A common alternative is to mix fine sand with water until it reaches a soupy consistency that allows objects to sink in when pressure is applied. This mixture can mimic the sinking properties of quicksand without the need for corn starch.
