How do I avoid smearing under the arms?

Hi All,

I've been spraying for a few months now using Sjolie. I have learned to turn my maximist down to about 7:00 position to not use too much solution and to allow for drying time between coats.

However, I am still having some smearing on some clients after they lower their arm down. It hits their sides and smears. I roll it with a paint roller to help smooth it out...any tips for avoiding this?

Also, does it effect the tan since it's just the bronzer?

Thanks!

Good question as I too have had that happen with my heavier set customers. I avoid it by spraying that area lightly. It might help to powder but I haven't tried it.

Yeah, I'm thinking that too...do a lighter coat, makes sense since you get a lighter tan there naturally anyway.

What I found that works good for me doing the underarms last. the last position is standing sideways with arms all the way up and I get underarm side and side of legs all the way down. Our solution drys really quick however it does sometimes smudge and since it is just the bronzers it does not effect the tan at all the tan is already set. Its kinda simular to the smudging that happens when you put your clothes back on it all evens out after the first shower.
