GRRR!!! Pro Spray Keeps Putting Spots On My Paper!!

Shake the can and hold upright i used to get dribble spots

Clean the nozzle with denatured alcohol. I always check for a buildup before spraying.

Also, do not start the spray directed at your transfer. Start spraying off the transfer, and then sweep over it.

Use 3M's ScotchWeld 75 spray instead.

Definitely after every couple sprays, wipe across the nozzle with your finger or cloth with alcohol. Visually check before spraying to see if the nozzle has build up before spraying.

What we have always used and recommend for the Wilflex Hot-Tak is to take an empty carton and lay it on it's side. Lay the transfer on the bottom, and spray toward the back (actually the bottom of the box when laying down) and let the mist fall on the transfer. You only need a very list mist to make the transfer tacky. Too much spray will present problems.

Allow the transfer to dry for 20 to 30 seconds before pressing. As others have mentioned, it's important to keep the nozzle clean like any rattle can which will help eliminate the spurts and dribbles.

Good luck.

I had the same problems with Pro Spray...it was a pain in the *** to use. I switched to Fast Tack 384 and all the problems disappeared. It doesn't clog, and it never leaves spots, droplets, etc.

most hardware stores sell it. just make sure the nozzle is clean b/4 you use and let the mist fall onto your paper not directly toward it. good luck uncletee

I know this is old but thought I'd add another tip since I didn't see it above.

If you are getting spots on the paper, spray the koozie (or fabric) instead of the paper. If you get a blob on the koozie, the fabric will just absorb it and/or you can just dab/rub it with your finger to eliminate the spot/blob.

If you dab/rub the paper, you could smear the image. Plus, it usually doesn't work since the paper won't absorb the spray as much and pretty much stains the paper that transfers over to the substrate.

This was happening to me years ago, so I started spraying the fabric and no more spots.
