Re: Tips on applying Print Shield

2004-12-17 by lulalake_1999

Yeah Chris,
I did the same thing when first using Print shield.
Try this spray very lightly, that is about 6" away from the print, no 
closer and NO farther. (Too close makes rows and too far away and 
some of the spray actually semi-dries before it hits the print.

WAIT till that is fairly dry 10 to 15 minutes, then turn the print 90 
degrees and repeat.

I find that makes a "flat" non-mottled surface.(I just sprayed 36 
prints last night using that method with no mottling.)
