Re: PrintShield/Guard spraying technique?

2005-02-18 by john dean

Also make sure these prints are fully dried and hardened before you spray them. Especially 
with rc prints is this important. This spray does not work well in cold or excessively humid 
environments. Also I shake the cans for a minute before use. I have sprayed hundreds of 
huge prints and canvas pieces with this stuff ( with a mask ) and never have I ruined a 
print because of a problem with the spray, either Lyson or Premier Art.
