Uniform groups:How to Starch ur collars
You spray the starch on the shirt (I unfold the collars and spray the back so the starch won't be directly against my neck). Spray the starch using the same sweeping motion you would if you were spray painting a piece of furniture. You want the shirt to get damp but not wet. A fine misting of the starch will do. Of course the more starch you spray on the stiffer the collar will be. After you've run the hot iron over the sprayed collar and gotten it looking like it want it to, then fold the collar over to it's normal position and run the iron over the collar again a couple of time to set the fold of the collar the way you want it.
