I'd mentioned I'd picked up 3 bottles of Sta Flo starch before it was mentioned here that they were no longer going to make it. Went back to Walmart to see if they had anymore but they didn't including online. I found some on Amazon for $65 for a gallon which is highway robbery if you ask me so didn't order any. Yesterday I went to one of our family owned grocery stores and by gosh I found 3 bottles on their shelves and grabbed them. Went to the back to ask if they had any more and they said no. Found the Manager and told him that it's no longer made in case he wasn't aware of it. So now I have 6 bottles in my stash.

Had lunch with a friend the other day and mentioned to her about Star Flo no longer being available and she said she's been using 1/2 water to 1/2 Vodka. It doesn't make the fabric stiff by any means but does give it some body. I may have to start adding the cheap Vodka again to my starch/water mixture just to make it last longer.
