yeah...buy it from image armor.

I tried making my own based on a few different ideas I had and research into inkjet receptive coatings, but my results weren't as good as you can get with commercially available stuff.

Please share your formula. Somebody told us that use 5% dilute synthetic thickener.

honestly, I tossed it out because it wasn't worth pursuing.

just buy the stuff from Image Armor.  It's $250 for a 5 gallon container that will pretreat thousands of shirts.
