I make up my starch using StaFlo liquid and a bit of Vodka though I doubt the Vodka does much as most you can find is made with something other than potatoes these days. Anyway, I put mine in a dishpan in the double sink. I found the top section of an old wringer washer, made a stand for it so it won't tip over. I put it in the center of the 2 sinks and dip the fabric in the dishpan, then run it thru the wringer into the other sink, then hang it up above the sink to dry. And yes, I mist spray it when I go to press it. Sure saves the hands when you're starching yards of fabric at a time. The wringer is now getting a bit heavy for me so I need to find another type of material to use for the stand, maybe PVC instead of wood. So far I've been using this method for the past 6-7 years and it's done me well. It's not a pretty gadget but works.
