Spraying Hydrocote

2003-08-07 by davajonj

I'm curious to know if anyone is using a compressor and paint gun to spray 
their prints.  I'm having such good success with my method that I'm curious to 
know if others are experiencing the same fine results.  I struggled with the 
Mayer Rod for months and never found the method consistently good.  The 
nice thing about spraying, in my opinion, is I can spray any size print and get 
exactly the same results with  no mess unlike clean-up with the Mayer rod.  
Clean-up with the spray gun is just a couple of minutes.  Plus, no glass, or rod 
to clean, and no extra material to try to recapture to save costs.  If anyone is 
interested in my workflow, just reply to me off list and I'll be glad to detail my 
method and equipment.  If the Mayer rod works for you, great!
Joe D.
