Mark,

Don't use too much of the "Fish-eye" juice as the coating will run real easily. In 
my toy painting job I use 10% of what the instructions mention. This is just from 
experience.

When spraying try tilting the print at about 45 degrees for less running. Try 
spraying a light first coat and a second heavier coat. You should be able to tilt the 
gun at 45 degrees with no spitting - from the gun, not from you - just make sure 
you have enough coating in the gun so when tilted it does not suck up air.

Best,

John V.
