Does 505 spray need a drying time?

She did mention spraying the quilting table (hers is acrylic) with a spray to help the quilt slide around easier. Hope this helps and answers some questions for you! Good luck! :)

I've not used the 505, but always spray baste my quilts. Whenever I put the sandwich together, I always leave at least 24 hours before I start quilting. This way, I don't get high on the fumes and I've never had a gunky needle. Perhaps if you have been too heavy handed with the spray, did some of it soak through? You only need to give it a very light spray to have it adhere.

i use 505 all the time and have never had a problem , after spraying the quilt it usually sits for about 5 min, while i clean up my mess and gather everything i need to start quilting on it , do you think you might of gotten some spray on the backside of the quilt? making it stick to the table?
