    starch???...I don't think starch would work as an adhesive and requie ORMD certification and proper Ventilation to be used! ANY can needing propellant to be SPRAYED is containing a Pertroleum based product. that is what the propellant is!

    Our daughter played basketball all the time in middle school and high school. If the gym floor was really slick, they sprayed the bottom of their shoes with cheap hairspray. I would think this would work in your shoes also.

    seems to me that if you can't use it on your socks, you couldn't use it on your quilts either.

    It's safe for our quilting fabric, so why not socks?? Makes good sense to me to use it for that

    Jacquie said the propellant was petroleum based. I researched this. Isobutane is petroleum based. Dimethyl ether is made from coal. These are the most common used ones. Some are made from grain based propane. However the propellants are discharged into the air when they propel the product out of the can. They are not the product itself. That's why someone else said they had heard the temporary spray was a starch product. Other fabric glues are not a starch product and are not temporary, but are still composed of petroleum based ingredients. These products won't digest fabric either on the bottom of a sock or in a quilt sandwich, but a nontemporary glue won't wash out either.
