So the other day I made a new bottle of this starch, started using it, and found I was getting flakes. I looked at my bottle and saw that all the starch was at the bottom. It had not been mixed. The spray tube was picking up only the starch. I shook it up and it works great. Now I try to remember to shake it each time I use it, but it doesn't really separate once it is well mixed. This product works great. Sometimes I soak a piece of fabric in it, wait for it to dry a little or put it in the dryer, and iron. Makes beautiful crisp fabric to work with.
