Cook, stirring constantly until the starch clears, 10 to 12 minutes. This makes a thick pasty mixture. As soon as starch is cool enough to handle, dip mat and squeeze starch through it thoroughly. Wring out extra starch. The mat should be wet with the starch, but there should be none in the spaces. Pin mat in position according to size and leave until thoroughly dry.
