    Question Spray Basting: Dritz Spray Adhesive or 505....

    I've never used either product. Does anyone have any recommendations on which is better? I also haven't spray basted before so any suggestions? Running out of time and thought (hopefully!) this would speed the process up a little for me!

    I actually use both. In my case I find that the Dritz Basting Spray works better. I have trouble with the 505 spraying out in a stream while the Dritz sprays in a wider path. Hope this makes sense...

    I've used both and I like the Dritz. It seams to hold the layers together better and the fumes don't seem to bother me as much. (FYI - with either one you should have plenty of air circulation. I usually open a window and have a ceiling fan turned on...even in the winter.

    I like 505.

    Spray lightly and don't wave you arm around. Use small motions.

    I use both, Dritz is more easily available (like down the street!) but either works very, very well. Dritz is readily available at WalMart. And if you're cost concious, Dritz. No issues with spraying, and no matter the basting spray, I use a mask.

    I have the Dritz so I'll go ahead and do it first thing in the morning. What a relief-this should catch me up to where I planned on being in the process until last week exploded on me! Thanks for all the quick answers you guys are the best!!!

    Karen is right...spray lightly. Oh and be careful where you spray. I had a small quilt on my carpet when I sprayed and for a while afterwords my feet kept sticking to the carpet...be careful!

    I'm the box lady. Use a box with tall sides. Place it over an area of the quilt, put the can down in the box and spray, move the box and repeat until the entire area is covered. The box keeps the spray from spreading to other areas of your house.
