Troubleshooting
Sprayer nozzle is clogged.
Gently remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water. Use a fine needle or pin to clear any dried ink from the opening. Rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
Ink spray is not coming out evenly.
Ensure the bottle is shaken well before use. Check that the nozzle is not clogged and is held at a consistent distance from the surface during spraying.
Color is too intense or spreading too much.
Apply the spray in lighter, multiple passes from a greater distance. Use a spray shield or stencil to control the application area. Blot excess ink with a paper towel or cloth immediately after spraying.
Ink is not drying properly.
Ensure the surface is dry before applying the ink. Avoid over-saturating the surface. Allow adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area.
