Well, I just called Johnson about getting an MSDS sheet for Future, and they
certainly weren't supportive of my using the product for a nonintended use,
and said it was "at my own risk". Heck, take it up with Martha Stuart, why
don't they. But anyway, it is an acrylic polymer, water based, with some
ammonia in it. I will get the MSDS sheet overnight. Maybe Don's idea,
below, is better. But I bet my print smells better than Don's :)...like
clean laundry!
