I have used fire retardant sprays for many years on fabric for shows. Just a
word about what it does to some fabrics. I have found that some sprays yellow
fabrics and leave spotty marks on darker fabrics. If I remember correctly, you
have to use different sprays for 100% cotton than for polyester blends. What I
usually do is put the retardant in a sprayer and bring it to the show and spray
mainly the bottoms and open edges. I have found that only at one show they
snip a piece of fabric and test to see if it is sprayed. Most shows do not
enforce the retardant treatment of fabric.
