Question about using Elmer's school glue to baste
I tried the spray basting last week and almost asphixiated myself! So while I was waiting for my sewing room to air out I started thinking--has anyone tried putting Elmer's school glue with water into a spray bottle and using it that way? Obviously, it would have to be very watered down in order to go through the sprayer--but if it works I think it would be a great alternative to the commerial spray basting products and using it straight from the bottle. Thoughts??

Here is a previous post advising against using hair spray.

Don't remember who, but someone here on the board dilutes Elmer's washable school glue with water and said it worked fine. I tried it, but I must not have diluted the glue enough, wrong size nozzle, etc, 'cause I couldn't get it to spray. So I just use it straight from bottle and let dry.
