The spray starch I've used, aside from what Joe says, also turned the
paper base tan after a few years. Plus, every year the manufacturers
think up weirder stuff to put in everything... and do not send you an
announcement when they do weirder. (Not to mention the perfume.)
But what do you have in mind? Almost every paper I've used for VDB &
cyano does better with no size added, often MUCH better -- assuming you're
not hot-air drying.
