• Place print on a near vertical easel.

Spray at a distance of approximately 8 inches from print. Move gun parallel to work at a right angle to the surface. Use uniform strokes overlapping the previous stroke by 50%. Adjust speed and distance to achieve a full wet coating. The closer the gun is held to the work the more coating is applied and the faster the gun must be moved to prevent sags. Holding the gun too far away causes dry spray or "orange peel".
