I think it was a tutorial from Sharon Shamber (sp?). Seems to hold the size well.
How much will the block stretch ?( and what kind of spray starch do you use), the stuff in england seems sticky I don't think it will make the block damp.
I just use a diluted ( 1 cup water, 1 cup starch) cheap starch like Sta-Flo liquid and just spritz it on. Works well for me up to about 1/4".
