Hello World! My first guitar project

[ross.pearson]

Was it a rectangular shape? If so it was probably a rotating nozzle, designed to give a fan-pattern rather then a circular cone pattern from a standard can. It rotates (I use pliers) to give a horizontal or vertical fan spray. Fan direction is at 90° to the main axis of the rectangle. So horizontal rectangle = vertical fan spray.

It probably just needed a pin to unclog the nozzle. (This is why they say to turn it upside down after use and press to use the propellant to blow any residue from the nozzle).

If you think there's too much on, then wait a day before spraying some more to give it extra time to dry.

You can always try using a nozzle from another spray can (use on cardboard first to avoid any old paint being transferred to the neck).

Ah yes that would have been it! It's been so long since I've sprayed anything that the technology got away from me.

I've already done 3 coats as per Bakers advice above. At worst I need to scrape back in a day or two, fix it up, and do it again.

I'll definitely try and locate another nozzle thingo for the next few coats, good thinking!
