After I added the sizing, it was much firmer and easier to use; without having a paper like quality to it as you'll find with spray starch.

Bump means....
This is an old thread that we talked about a while ago. Sometimes, a member finds an older thread really good and might provide someone with info so we "bump" it up to the front.
That way, the thread gets "bumped" to the front page where everyone can see it.

re: sizing vs. starch
with starch you can make it thin or thick to suit your own needs. i like a heavy starch so my pieces can get up and walk by themselves, but if you like a 'sized' quality you can mix liquid starch thinner.
a really heavy starch is 50/50. more water = thinner starch. less water = thicker starch.
i also like the liquid because i hate to run out. i can always make more.
