    Vodka (less expensive) is made with grain, too. Starch is starch!

    You do know that there is no starch left in the vodka once it has been distilled!
    Not sure where this myth came from.

    I’m going to use POTATO vodka. I was told it will make a better product.

    I use rubbing alcohol instead of vodka. Much cheaper and no need to go to the liquor store. I used 90 percent for this first batch but in thinking it through, 50 percent would work too because vodka is 40 percent alcohol.

    I use the sta-flo mixed with water and added essential oils for smell. I haven't had a problem with that mix. I like my fabrics stiff so I do a 50/50 mix.
