Digital BW, The Print

I've been placing my prints parallel to the ground (sometimes in a
half open box) and holding the can at a small angle so it is not quite
parallel to the print (nozzle higher than bottom of can).  No problems
with uniformity so far.

QUESTION:  I recently discovered that I can get two different effects
with Print Shield  on Epson 7800 prints.  Anyone else try this...
1-  If I hold the can about 12 in above the print and move fast enough
to get a light spray (almost a mist) I get a sort of mild gritty
surface on glossy papers (perhaps it could be described as a frost).
This is fine on luster papers but I don't care for it on glossy papers. 
2-  However, if I get the can closer to the print (maybe 8 in) and go
slower I can lay down one dense layer that has a definite wet look
(under glancing light). On Kodak Pro Glossy paper (and perhaps on some
other glossy papers?) the wet lacquer drys very uniformly despite
looking like it could be problematic while still wet.  On the Kodak
Pro Glossy paper I am left with a much shinier surface, uniform, and
gloss differential is significantly or entirely eliminated.  I have
not tried this 'wet approach' on prints larger than letter size yet,
but I hope I can get it to be uniform on 16x20s (on Kodak Pro
Glossy)... it should look great.

Comments or suggestions anyone?

results holding the can vertically and about 8"-10" from the surface,
always moving parallel to the print at a constant distance. I use two
coats, one horizontal ;dry for a few minutes; then vertical.
