spraying technique

2005-12-16 by Allan Chen

Hi all,
	I am hoping someone can help me with archival spraying technique.

	I did a quick search on this and found several posts on how many times 
to spray, how fast to go, etc.  However, I'm having an issue with the 
premier art spray where it runs out as you spray.  I hold the can 
parallel to the print, so that the nozzle is straight down.  After a 
while, the nozzle runs dry because, presumably, the liquid is sitting 
below the feeder tube running into the can.  This not only causes a few 
spurts as it peeters out, but it also means I have to stop halfway 
through a print, wait a bit, then start spraying again.

	Is there a better way to do this?  Should I hold the can upright  and 
kind of long-range it to the print?
