Hey guys. I have a random question about sta-floing.... I tried it yesturday and it works magic.... but after soaking it and taking off the excess starch... the dye of the paag came off. Example, I soaked a blue paag and after taking the excess off, there was blue mixed in with the remainder of the sta-flo in the bucket... If I were to put a yellow paag in the bucket and soak it, would the yellow paag get ruined with some of that blue dye that came off the blue paag?
going from lightest to darkest seems to work well for us.do most of you just starch once? Once seems to be too little, and twice seems to be too much for memaybe once and then hairspray?
Since the paggan bleed when you squeeze the excess out, what if you were to soak all 8-12 paggan and then at the end squeeze the sta flo out individually?
no it wont. i've done it before with FCBs and helped Swi do it with CMUs and the other paags didnt get stained or anything by the dye that came off. is this the first time youre "sta-floing" these or have you done it before

However we just got new ones, and its the ones with the silver strands, do those of you who have those always need to starch twice?
