I am trying to make a 10X recipe of a cooked pudding. It uses flour and corn starch as a thickener. I scaled up the ingredients proportionally, but it is not as thick. Any recommendations on how better to scale the ingredients? Is the sugar interfering with the gel? Do I need to change the ratio of the thickeners? Should the proportions be different? Any thoughts?

Scaling out a recipe is often more difficult than just "multiplying" the ingredients. In the Book Ratio they have a chapter on Custard:
Simply doubling a recipe is usually pretty straight forward...the more you scale upwards the more 'out of alignment' your ratios become (particularly where eggs are involved).
Without your base recipe I have to warn 'your mileage' may vary' So be prepared to tweak it to your taste.
