I also use a 50/50 mix of Sta Flo and water. I use a spray bottle for a buck at the dollar tree or walmart, just any spray bottle. I shake the bottle, spray the bejonkers out of it and press like mad. It's great. I'm almost scared to put it in the fridge..but if it presses better I might spray it first and then pop it in the fridge to see if it presses better.
