I've also wondered about making baby quilts with nice pristine cotton without the added fire retardant chemicals. Yuk. What to do?

Check the main ingredient in 505 Spray and then the main active ingredient in Aqua Net hairspray. Exactly the same ingredient. Also from the back of the 505 Spray can: Caution: Extremely Flammable.

You do realize that you have no real way of knowing if all those chemicals did wash out right.....

Thanks for the tip. I've never used a basting spray before but I learned something about taking out ink stains.

No way! Seriously?????

Thank you for sharing the idea.

I did not know it could double as basting spray but I use it to keep my chalked stencil marks from disappearing when using my longarm. I spray the small area and then stencil...it makes the chalk stay in place. I am going to try that. I buy Aqua Net at .99 a can at Wally World.

That is a wonderful idea. Those spray on adhesives are so messy and are hard to wash off if you get it on your hands. Point: I had used a spray adhesive on a project. Shampooed my hair, then proceeded to blow dry it. The residue from the spray on adhesives was still on my hands and some on this transferred to my hair dryer. To this day, I've been unable to get it off. Found that nailpolish remover works best, but even that takes several applications.

I believe there is lacquer in those sprays. It won't wash out regardless of how many time an article is washed. And to believe that, if it was incinerated, it would be like a stick of dynamite.

Almost any aerosol is going to be flammable. I wonder if using a pump spray would work as well.
