Re: PrintShield/Guard spraying technique?

2005-02-18 by David Wroblewski

Excellent, thanks for the advice. I'm in Colorado, and inside,
so it's dry and warm where I'm spraying. I have some older 
fully-dry prints I can practice on, to eliminate that variable.

Sounds like I need to shake longer and get closer. Thanks 
John and Nick---I'll try both your suggestions. Reassuring
to know this can be mastered.
