I make my spray starch using an old recipe from my grandmother. I could never find a spray bottle that had a fine mist setting. All seem to spray out too heavy. I found the perfect mist sprayer that does not put drops of liquid all over the fabric. It's sprays a perfect very fine mist. :D

It's a Dove Advanced Damage Therapy Heat Shield Styling Spray bottle. It's perfect. Other brands may have fine mister bottles but the
Dove was what my DD had. It's worth to buy it for the bottle. If anyone is interested in the spray starch recipe :

Homemade Spray Starch Recipe

Cornstarch
water



Dissolve 1\2 teaspoon up to 1 teaspoon cornstarch (depending on amount of stiffness you want, in a few tablespoons of cold water.
Add boiling water to make one cup, stirring constantly. Then add cold water to make 2 cups.


Shake before each use.

I usually half the recipe because I don't use up a whole batch before it goes stale smelling.
