Tantrick spray help!

[Beautyblitz]

Hi I have recently bought the mini mist tan machine and its great love the colours etc, but it started spraying on and off leaving patches on the skin. I did 3 tans today and I am worried they will be all patchy. Ive been looking through the threads and noticed this happened tp a few others so I took the machine apart and got my husband to clean it all. Its still spraying on and off but we can't work it out. Can anyone help me see the light ?

Did you buy the machine from the official Tantrick distributor and if yes, have you told them you are having problems?

 

[Beautyblitz]

Yes I did buy it from them. Will phone first thing tomorrow but just wanted to see if anyone had some tips to help since I have a tan to do tomorrow

Hi there

Are you holding your spray gun straight and steady? If you are tilting it slightly that could cause you to get an uneven spray.

If you are confident that your application is fine, then contact your trainer he/she should be able to help you. HTH

Were you trained by someone local to you who may be able to help?

Also have you got plenty of liquid in the cup?

If your just beginning it could be that you are not moving over the body fast enough or that you are starting and stoping too often. I wouldnt worry about it after a few more tans and a bit of confidence youll be great!

This may sound daft but when you are spraying you have to squeeze the trigger hard not gentle and you have to keep it squeezed hard for the whole of the pass,
then release at the end of the pass and squeeze hard again when you start the next pass,
if you are not squeezing the trigger hard enough it could cause this problem,
also if you are not releasing the trigger after each pass but keeping the trigger squeezed for the whole of the spray tan this will cause this problem to as the pressure that is needed is not built up,
all the good advise above on the other answers is also relative, hth :Love:

you could try spraying some water through it and see if that splatters, is you needle definately clean? and make sure you dont wipe it with anything that could leave fibres behind, I got some couch roll stuck on my needle once and that caused a blockage, was sooooo small I hadnt even seen it but it caused me loads of grief, just a thought.

 

[Beautyblitz]

I think its something to do with the gun.:Look_righ We've been at it all night and it seems to be something to do with the little black rubber rings that go in the gun where the needle goes . When you look at the spray coming out where the needle is it starts and stops there when I'm holding dead straight and enough solution in it. It doesn't make any difference whether its water spraying out of it or tan solution it still sprays this stopping and starting way. We have been able to make it a little better but wander if maybe its a fault.

:Look_righSounds a bit rude but didn't mean it that way:biggrin:

When I've had that its either been not enough solution in the cup or the gun flow isnt open enough. Stick some couch roll up and fiddle about with the knob a bit (oo er) xx

Try stripping the gun down again..make sure theres no foreign debris left inside.
Before re assembling spray all the components with WD40 which will lubricate the parts.
If this fails either give your trainer a call as soon as you can..they are there to assist you with these things :hug:

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem and I WD40'd the gun and its all back to normal, however I was PM'd and told that the T100 is not meant as a "workhorse" and perhaps I should invest in more of a "workhorse". Much prefer to keep my T100 and my tin of WD40, thankyou :irked:.

Hi Katrine,

By the way...you dont have a T100...you have the upgraded T200

just gald your all sorted now :hug:

 

[MobileKat]

R u sure I have the T200 as the instruction manual says that it is the T100, I was a bit miffed:irked: when I saw that, as I thought I was getting the T200. Is there n e where on the machine that will say which machine it is just so I can check?

Thanks in advance

You have without any doubt a T200....the T100 was in fact no longer produced since June last year (ish) .

As the machines are basically identical and that the improvements are in the motor itself the manufacturer uses their original instruction booklets.

I guess that once they run out of these booklets they will replace the wording T100 with T200.

Many Thanks Collin, I have PM'd you.
