In a message dated 96-10-05 07:34:20 EDT, you write:
<< I make up flour paste by slowly adding a pint of water to 1/3 cup of
flour, stirring to get a good mixture as I'm adding the water. When well
mixed I cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid scorching, for
two minutes after boiling begins. I cool it, add about 5 drops of clove
oil for a preservative.
I use a paint brush to brush the paste onto a sheet of glass then put the
label on the glass to pick up the paste. A wiping motion seems to work
well. I use a damp sponge to help in pressing the label to the jar.
Works well on glass, poorly on plastic. White glue (aliphatic resin??)
seems to be ok on plastic though I've used plastic very little and don't
have a good opinion here. >>
Another thing you can try, I learned from a MB in PA, is to use evaporated
milk for glueing on homemade labels (works great). Then brush onto a board
or glass as described.
