Tanning Training went not so good

[Jennifer2010]

Omg i done my first model, i could not see where the tan was going. The room didn't have much light, the balck tent made things worse, i ended up spraying too much solution, missed some parts. I feel really let down and disappointmed in myself. Has this happened to anyone before.

Dont be harsh on yourself, its you first go
You need to do a goodly few spays before you get good....and some people dont ever get really good ( Ive had a few tans by people who have been spraying for a long time so I know )

Just keep trying hun, the worst that can happen is you use a load of solution up, the model can always go jump in the shower if they want to.

Chin up hun
remember....upwards and onwards + practice makes perfect

I think the best thing to do is practise on a few people, freinds/family and stay calm lol the first 2 tans I did day after my training 1st was my BF forgot to get him to turn palms up poor guy had tanned palms lol 2nd was my friend who did exactly the same to me, we forgot to put arms straight down at back at had white stripes lol
Just try to remember all the positons thats the main thing, I always do a light misting over body again after turning gun down for hands & feet so I can tan in any light hth xx

I would worry about it so much at this stage, all takes practise! Get some friends and family around like has been said and get practising! Its not the type of thing you will get right from the first time! I had a que of friends wanting me to practise on them!
Just remember take your time, its rushing that makes mistakes! And make sure you get a light and use a well lit room! I had a black tent and I didnt like it, was too dark! But my new pink one arrived yesterday and used it twice last night and I am over the moon with it! Sooo much better to see!

Nope, I use proper equipment.

That's not a very nice response to a new tanner, who's obviously got the PROPER equipment, but has a need to practice more to use it more proficiently.
If you have nothing constructive to offer the thread starter why bother replying at all?

To the original thread starter.....

When you 1st start out, it will seem quite daunting, but by doing more & more practice you will soon get the hang of it.
Get a clip on light for your tent - search on here as there has been lots of threads about where to get them from.
Practice your spraying by putting a small amount of solution in your cup, add water to top it up - that way you are not wasting lots of solution. Then tape some couch roll to the back of your tent, or even the bathroom wall & practise getting used to spraying up & down & side to side on the couch roll, you will see how wet it is & reduce the amount of spray coming out of the gun, using the adjuster. (depends what machine you use, mine is a T200 and it it the silver screw above the hand as you hold the gun.
If you hold a roll of desk/couch roll and spray down it, look at the sheet underneath - if it is wet also or has spotting on it, your spraying too much solution, so adjust slightly and try again. Mark the adjuster when you have reached a suitable spray and that way you can make sure it has not moved when you get your machine out again.
I would suggest also, you use a solution with a darker colour guide in it whilst you practice as this will help you too see where you're tanning.

Don't get dishearten, it happens to us all in the beginning xxxxx
