Digital BW, The Print

I use 3 or 4 light coats.  It dries to the touch almost immediately.  But
it'll smell bad for a day.  So I let it hang to dry overnight.

Since it is so invisible on matte paper, it's rather forgiving.  I hang my
print with a weight on the bottom.  I do horizontal, vertical, and diagonal
spray paths, always starting the spray not aimed at the print in case there
is a semi-dry glop at first.  I think I'm about 12" away from the print and
move at about a rate of 12" per second.  After each spray I use a hair drier
on the print, go out and catch a breath of fresh air, and then apply the
next coat.  I only clear the nozzle (spray upside down) when I'm totally
done with the print -- only a single spraying session per print.  I do wear
goggles.

Hope this helps.
