I just basted a quilt with 505 Spray and Fix (also had to use some Sulky on part of it when the can clogged up and needed soaking). I set mine on our pool table, which is covered with plywood. I put newspaper around the edges of the quilt for overspray. I lay out the backing and batting, then fold back half of the batting, spray about a foot of the back, smooth the batting down and then fold back what isn't stuck, repeat until one half is done, then do the other half. I then put the top on, fold back half of it and repeat the process. The 505 doesn't seem to have a bad fume issue but the Sulky was a different story (I had to hold my breath, do a little, then move away from the quilt until the air cleared). I do pin around the edges of my quilts to keep them from coming apart with all of the manipulation during the quilting. I hope this helps.
