Pastry Cones for Applying Rice Paste Resist

Q: I'm looking for an alternative to mulberry paper cones for applying rice paste resist to fabrics. Would pastry cones work?

A: Yes, I use pastry cones with a fine tip.

Make sure you pre-screen your dry goods before making your paste to make sure that they can fit through the size tip you’re using. I run my dry ingredients through a 110 mesh screen printing frame. Much of the bran I’ve used in the past has some very large particles that need to be separated or re-milled. I lose about 40% of the bran because the particle size is too large. I use Bob’s Red Mill stabilized rice bran.
