Sorry if this sounds really silly...
I also use this machine and I also tan using vertical strokes. How do you know where to set the dial at the back? Mine is just round and doesn't have an arrow or any type of indicator so I know which clock setting to put it to?

Turn the dial all the way to the right (this is fully closed) then mark the top of the dial (where 12 would be on a clock) with some nail polish, tippex or something then turn the dial to the left so the mark sits at the 7/8 on a clock face.

After speaking with a lovely lady from Nouvatan and watching the 2 minute spray tan on you-tube, i've changed my technique & am probably only using 30-40ml now. I do vertical strokes & feel so much more confident in what I'm doing. Thanks for your advice geeks xxx

I was really bored the other nite and so i tried st moriz in my spray gun only on myself not on a custmer and it actualy turned out nice anyone know if this will be bad for my spray gun or any more info on it ?
The best thing to do is shop around. I personally only use the internet but you should ring around to get solution samples. In my experience, you have to pay a bit more for a solution you're happy to use on paying customers, but everyone has their own preferences. If you search the treads on this forum you'll find lots of people recommendations. i've found Facebook to be the best means of drawing customers in. After each new spray ask them to put a comment on your fb page & ask them to share you with their friends. I did a lady recently who'd found me through Fb & she said she'd done a search for mobile spray tans & although my name wasn't the only one to come up she thought the comments on my fb page were so good, she booked me.

The airbrush systems , you know the little compressors with an airbrush, recommend circular motions. The tanning solution comes out as a much finer mist and 2 coats are usually the method, I must admit I loved my airbrush and the tans were absolutely gorgeous, just more "refined" iykwim. I changed to HVLP after a lot of deliberation the main reason for the change was the amount of solution used and the time it took to do a tan.
Maybe the trainer was taught on an airbrush system and never changed her method when doing HVLP ?
Hmm not sure about my trainer - i think she gave me lots of dodgy advice!! I've learnt so much more from you helpful geeks than i did from her!!!! Thanks tanfastic x

Hi salon geeks
Im in need of help, I have been trained in spray tanning and did use California spray tan and had no problems, since getting the crazy angel machine I can't use less than 4oz?? I tried undoing the gun so it was a bit looser but it just sprayed out on his own its a brilliant product but I don't want to use to much and I'm baffled how you can only use 2oz???
*****please help****
