I used this technique in military housing back in the 1980's. I a gallon of starch on hand to press my husbands uniforms and dipped the fabric in a wallpaper paste tray of the starch, smoothed it over the concrete block walls and let it dry. It was easy to remove when we were reassigned. I just sprayed it down with water and peeled if off the walls. The walls all had to be washed anyway for the white glove inspection before moving out of housing. Glad to see it's coming back.

This would be a book I would love to add to my library!
