    You can spray products like this using spray bottles or those spray paint systems that employ a jar and your own paint with an aerosol can of propellant (cant remember the name, sorry). Brushes and rollers can be employed as well. All will give different results, and the technique, direction of movement, and application method all effect size and direction of crystal growth. It's important to experiment on multiple surfaces before applying to the final surface because even the topography of the surface your painting effects the crystals. For instance I was doing a job and the crystals emphasized the edge of a surface on one side but not the other and it ultimately looked disjointed. I opted to repaint. Sanding direction changes crystal direction growth immensely and can be used to manipulate how they grow. You can get interesting effects by wetting some areas before others, or by varying the volume applied in different areas. I often use an old hairspray bottle to apply these crystal products because it provides an even and very thin mist while still being easy to use and disposable and capable of wetting a relatively large area rapidly Note.... my experiences were with a similar product but a different brand. Best advice is to experiment. Get a bottle and waste it just playing around.

    @@AirbrushAsylum Hi I hope you are very well your videos are very helpful * I have some doubts and I would like your help: 1) what type of silver in spray can you recommend that it be of very good quality and can achieve the same effect? 2) When you apply your candy red over the silver, do you put some kind of sanding sealer clear on top of that, to protect your marble effect, before applying your 2K Polyurethane final clear coat? 3) Does the silver paint have a clear coat on it before applying the crystallizer? or is it just the painting. I look forward to your prompt response you are the best thank you very much
