How
to Spray using HVLP sprayers
Like
everything there is a technique to be learned with using this equipment,
which will come with practice. First time users will need to master
the right spray technique for this type of equipment.
All
spray tan methods have a problem with 'over spray' or spray mist.
That is why even professionals use spray booths. With experience
this problem is minimised. You can't expect to get the hang of this
the first time you try it. If you don't have a spray booth you should
practice outside.
You
can't just stand back and hose the body down with the gun. You need
to cut back the tanning solution and apply it slowly with the nozzle
only about 10 cms from the body. Each spray pass should be like
a slow brush stroke. Flow volume can be controlled by the trigger
adjustment at the back of the gun.
Always
keep the nozzle pointed at the body when spraying. Never swing the
gun backwards and forwards so that the nozzle points away from the
body. The gun should be turned so that as it follows the contours
of the body it pivots and keeps pointed at the body at all times.
Spraying off the body creates over spray.
Always
apply a few light coats. Don't try and get it all done in one coat
and always trigger the gun on and off at the beginning and end of
each stroke when the gun is moving to avoid flooding and drips.
