The conclusion was that the 505 was the spray that showed the best long-term results (as far as not harming, discoloring, or otherwise damaging you fabric). As much as we invest in the fabric, batting, thread and our sewing machines, I think we would be wise to make sure we know what products, like basting spray, might do to them over the long term. I will post that blog or link if I can find it again.

Any way I told her to go and buy spray Glue. She went to wall mart and saw the price of spary glue... (now this is my sister knowing alot about cars.) She called me back, and said to went to the automotive store and bought what they call glue spray for the inside of your care overhead liner. (This is for the inside of your car when the top of your ceiling comes down and hits you in the head)
It is the same as glue spray for 1/4 of the price. I think she
said she paid $3.00- $4.00 for a large can.
I told her I would pass this on. same product for 1/4 of the cost.
