Rep Power: 0 | Re: Extraction Fans for Mobile Spray Tans? I would also add that it's in the control over your gun which gives the overspray problem not the machine. Needle size is all important as Brian as described. I also believe the solution you use can cause a "fogging" effect giving the appearance of more overspray. I don't care for these solutions as they create an intense "fog" which for clients' with breathing difficulties can be horrendous and also for the sprayer. I prefer solutions with a higher viscosity which tend to fall to the floor rather than being airborne. Incidentally I don't use an extractor either. |

Exactly right--a spray tanner could be causing over spray simply because they don't know what they are doing. We recently got a call from someone who said that their formula was incredibly sticky, and then went on to state that they were spraying 2 OZ of formula just on the client's face. No wonder if was sticky! Experience is key, and I agree with you that some solutions can cause a "fog" instead of a nice mist--sometimes this is due to a solution that's too heavy. If the solution is heavy then the spray gun has to work that much harder to "fire" the solution out of the gun; usually this results in solution literally bouncing off of the skin you're spraying (and that creates a lot of over spray obviously).

Re: Extraction Fans for Mobile Spray Tans? I wear a mask to spray and have a backdrop with three filtered intakes. My mask after two sprays has brown all over it. I think it cuts it down some but if you think you are not breathing it in even with an intake look at the front of your mask after a couple of sprays. | |
