Anyone know how to fire proof fabrics easily and inexpensively?
Thanks.

The old-school formula was dissolving borax in boric acid. Dissolved ammonium alum is another; I'm sure it leaves a chalky residue on the fabric when the solution dries, but if your decor is dusty I imagine it could be camoflaged. Nowadays I think everybody buys the commercially made stuff.

That's a great question, I sometimes forget this part when thinking up a new idea or prop.

Different materials need different flame retardant.

Hancock fabarics sells small bottles of flame retardant. Don't know the price or anything about it, though.

Good news, I'll do up a group buy when the paper work arrives.
This will be a very secret buy and only once.

Let us know how large an area the liquid covers, too FE. ALso if it is sprayed on or soaked.

Still working on this.
As it stands, roughly 10k purchase to set up distrib, with restrictions on what price to sell it at.
