It was clear...left no marks... but the smell drives me nuts. All the cleaning suggestions for fabrics end with saying NOT to dry it in a dryer because any residue could combust. Drying in air is recommended until any trace of odor is gone. I may have to wash, rinse, re-soak my lace for several days before it's clear of the stuff. About a dozen lace pieces got it, so far. I'm re-checking the rest of the display items just in case I missed some the first time through. I know that I wanted a new board for display since a recent demo in wet weather warped it, but I really didn't plan to do it right now. A small table, a box, my planing book,and some other things got caught in it too. I keep finding more things that smell. The display board was foam board, so it started to dissolve, or at least get very soft. Alice in Oregon -- overcast, and supposed to rain, so I can't leave the car windows open today. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
