Spray tanning prob

[Rosiedrew]

I'm slowly getting better. I spray closer to my clients however I do notice that the spray tends not to be in a straight line when it comes out, it seems to spray slightly wide?? Hard to explain. I do have the nozzle at 6 o'clock and it's down very low.

Any ideas? Also, I do not seem to get a stripe on my client I can barely see it until I have finished.

thanks

Hi I may be wrong if I have misunderstood you but the spray does come out in a slight fan, and with you not being able to see where you have been it could either be that you have not got enough light or that the solution you use hasn't got a dark guide colour, I use bothe Sienna x and Tantrick, I find that I cant see Tantrick half as well as Sienna x but love the colour at the end.
Which solution do you use?xx

Try spraying on some couch roll first. Sometimes you can't see on the body but you can definitely see when spraying on white couch roll!
I had a problem with my gun a couple of weeks ago and it was something as simple as i hadn't screwed the nozzle on properly :irked:
Double check everything on your gun at the beginning of the day. I check mine every morning and it only take a couple of minutes to have a quick check through.

I think you need to turn your nozzle up a little bit but only slighty and like angelina said spray some on couch roll or kitchen roll before you spray your clients.

If you are not seeing a slight guideline when spraying your clients it shows you need to turn it up a notch.

Dont worry it takes time and lots of adjustments to your gun to get things right :hug:

Try holding the gun slightly further away having turned up the volume output dial.

If you are having problems with seeing where you are spraying you could also check you have adequate lighting to the work area.

HTH and good luck :hug:

it does spray slightly wide, also depends what solution you are using as to the guide colour you will get, when I sprayed with Autumn gold last week I could barely see it at all

When i had my training we had a few solutions and Sudo didn't even have a guide colour! you just had to look at where the body was glistening to see where the solution had gone-good practice though for perfecting your technique!

I have my nozzle diagonal. I find it works much better for some reason. You just have to play about with it a bit. Definitely turn it up a little bit or you could be there all day lol xxx

If I turn it up it sprays the whole room and not just inside the tent??

Sorry Rosie but i dont know what machine you have got but i am assuming it is either a maximist or a t200.

If you spray up and down you need to have the dial at the front of the gun set to 6oclock, this will give you a fan pattern which will enable you to cover the body quickly whist minimising the amount of solution you use. You need to be approx hand (6 inches) distance away from your client, that way you will not fill the room with overspray. Secondly, you only need to open the density dial at the back of the gun approx 2 half turns to the left.

Practice spraying on couch roll so you get a feel as to what is going to come out of the gun.

alternatively, if you spray left to right you need to adust the spray pattern to the 9.15 pattern (ie left to right) This rotates the fan shaped pattern

if you set the dial on a diagonal, your machine will produce a jet, all this does is make your spraying time longer and maximise the amount of solution you use which will make your clients appear wet. Sienna don't recommend this way of spraying at all.

I would suggest maybe getting back in touch with your trainer
