How To Use Acrylic Paint Sprays
-
Practise spraying before final use.
-
Always test on hidden surfaces or off-cuts to ensure compatibility and adhesion.
-
Apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat. The spray is very fine and dries fast, so it's better to spray 4 light coats rather than 1 heavy coat.
-
If the spray runs then it is being applied to heavily. Excessive application may also cause damage to surfaces such as plastic.
-
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease.
-
Mask areas not to be sprayed.
-
Use suitable protective sheets.
-
Shake the can hard (with the ball bearing rattling), for at least 5 seconds before use and often while spraying.
-
Before starting, spray off to one side for 3 seconds. This clears the plastic tube inside the can so that paint comes out rather than just clear propellant.
-
Fully depress the nozzle and spray with the can upright, 30cm from the surface moving your hand smoothly from side to side.
-
To prevent clogging, when through spraying invert can and spray for 3 seconds to clear nozzle.
-
Use only in well ventilated areas.
