I tried this recipe and outcome was not quite stiff enough so i added a little extra vodka till I found what I was looking for.

What a great excuse to buy vodka!

Oh my gosh, that's all I'd need to do. I'd be going to the big D and I don't mean Dallas! I used his beer mixed with shampoo and water one time on my lawn. I thought he'd have a stroke. Never did that again.

Does it turn brown when you put an iron to it?

I use vodka water mixture and do not find it to turn brown. The amount of "crispness" depends on how much vodka you pour in. Have also tried the vodka in cocktails after a long day of pressing. HA!!

Good shot of Vodka
Tomato juice or V-8 is good
Celery salt
stalk of celery or slab of a dill pickle
Tweek of hot sauce
Cap it with scotch,
Oh, wait a minute, that not recipe for spray starch. Sorry.
