Thanks Gerry. Always full of fun tips. I use a pizza box for a spray box. It’s actually from craft deliveries, not pizza! Doesn’t take up much room and just flips open.

I've never thought of using a sheet of acetate in my spray box, good idea! I line the bottom of my spray box with a piece of mixed media or watercolor paper so that the overspray eventually gives me another background. I have one journal page that I made using the overspray sheet and it may be my favorite of all my makes. Thanks for all of the useful tips.

I do wish they would find a way to make the bottles spray more smoothly. They're sometimes very difficult to control and the ink comes gushing out. So, any brilliant inventors out there, you crafty friends? You could make a fortune. 😉😘

sometimes the spray head is not good (a monday morning one as we say😉) and it can depend from brand to brand also. Yep there is some room for improvement spray development wise😁

Excellent video! Was not expecting the ‘how to spray’ techniques and quickly realized this is golden information! Many thanks!

Really like the box idea. I've gathered a few to decide which one would be best, but they're all pretty big. Now I know how to fold it flat for storage!

Wow Gerry. These tips are amazing. No have not yet tried the sprays cuz I was nervous of making a big mess. I especially appreciated the tip of cutting a box so that it can store away flat as my craft room is really quite small. Thanks so much you always have some great ideas for us all. 😊

Really helpful tips, TFS. Tim also recommends wiping the nozzle after use to avoid clogging. Paper soup: love it. I always thought that would be a problem with the (splat) boxes & the acetate eliminates waste. I like your DIY box, I find the size of Tim's splat boxes too confining.

I don't really use spray inks, so what I do instead is add a special medium made to be added to acrylic paint, then use that as a spray. I like your idea to make dots. I usually get bigger drops than I want, going to have to try your method.

Great tips as always, Gerry. Any ideas how to keep the sprayed surfaces flat while they dry? Lots of curl here!!

@GerrysCraftRoom

2 жыл бұрын

thanks💖 that all depends on the paper, the m ore it can handle fluids the less curl, some papers soak up fluids and then there is no way you can get it back in it's flat state🙃But once dry I like to add them under the Make-Art Stay-tion (or something else heavy and flat) that will flatten them out if they still can😉

@GerrysCraftRoom

That's a big problem, especially sprays with shimmer tend to clog easily. You can try soaking the nozzle in warm water, sticking a needle in the little opening and cleaning the backend by taking of the little tube, that's about it. But if you have old sprays, try looking for cheap spray bottles and poor the product in those, then clean after using, that's the easiest solution😉

So frustrating when that happens. You can try taking the pieces apart & cleaning them with some hot water & a sewing needle to poke in the tiny crevices. Not that it guarantees it will keep working. I’ve invested in some pipettes to get the spray out of some of my bottles, or use a paintbrush also. At least that way you can still use the product, even if the spray part doesn’t work.
