So a friend sent me a magazine because I buy leather from a shop in
the town it comes from. The leather shop was suggested by a certain
person here, and so it all comes full circle...

In the magazine a lady was well pleased with "Organic Press and Starch
Solution for Applique"

Go to quilting products and click on the product.

OK have I missed something or does the picture and description seem an
awful lot like dry corn or rice starch in a shoe polish bottle? (It is
a "just add water!" sort of thing)

If the sponge would be useful couldn't you just dab with a sponge?
Or if you want to get fancy, use one of these things:

Mind I am not a big applique fan. I do it sometimes, but it is not my
favorite thing. So maybe I am just flat out missing some significant
point somewhere.
Kinda doubt it though.

Well, you know the thing about "add the name quilter's .... to it and
triple the price"
Maybe that applies here?

Quilter's, organic, and archival quality all seem to be words used to
jack up prices. I'd lay bets it's just plain dry starch with a high
dollar price tag.

I think the key word here is "organic." All other starches I've seen may
leave something to be desired in the potential toxicity department,
especially if aerosol.
