The reason for putting in a fridge was if you didn't get them all done it kept them from souring before you got back to them. Only 65 and I've done it all myself.

I buy 1/2 gal of Sta-Flo at walmart and mix with half water and put in a spray bottle. It works good.

I found "Niagra non-aerosol spray starch" @ Walmart. It has a sprayer nozzle on top. And is non-aerosol so you don't loose the pressure in the can. And it does say original on the can. It works great for me.

Should be are the important words here. None to be found at Albertson's where I shop.
