Try out the recipe on some scrap fabric and see how it works for you. Good Luck!
Does this have a shelf life and need to kept in the refrig or some such thing. I don't sew every day and I like BP as it can just stay on my sewing table. I also buy it a gallon at a time, and its almost time to buy again.
