I was searxing for the various kinds of hat stiffeners and how to use them.
I've found https://www.hatsupply.com/leko-purpose-stiffener/ “ok, this is a solvent based one if it has shipping restrictions, let's read on” (it was, it is shellac solution in alcohol, ok, that's one of the options I've found about, fine) and then. this.
on a scale of 10 to 11, how 2020 is this?

Our Hat Stiffener that comes in the gallon jugs, is 190 proof alcohol! This means that if you spray it on your straw or felt hats it will sanitize them giving you and your customers extra protection!!!

in reply to rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua • •also, it would be interesting to know how they used it before the availability of distilled alcohol... oh, right, heat (first result on searx, and I've only read half of the first section :) https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/pdfplus/10.1086/202282 )
