How should I clean up overspray?

Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged.
Gently remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water. Alternatively, use a fine needle or pin to clear the opening. Ensure the cap is replaced tightly after use to prevent future clogs.
Uneven or splotchy coverage.
Ensure you have shaken the bottle thoroughly for adequate pigment suspension. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface while spraying and use a steady, sweeping motion.
Color does not appear vibrant.
The spray may appear sheer, especially on colored or dark surfaces. Apply multiple light layers, allowing each to dry, to build up color intensity. Consider using on a lighter base layer like white gesso or cardstock.
Product seems to separate quickly after shaking.
This is normal for pearlescent sprays. Shake vigorously and frequently during use to maintain an even distribution of shimmer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the pearlescent pigments are fully mixed. Remove the cap and hold the bottle approximately 6-12 inches away from your surface. Press the nozzle firmly to spray.
Compatibility:
This spray is designed for use on porous surfaces such as paper, cardstock, canvas, wood, and fabric. It can be used over inks, paints, gesso, and other dry mediums. Avoid using on glossy or non-porous surfaces where it may not adhere or dry properly.
Care:
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after use to prevent the nozzle from drying out. Clean the nozzle tip with a fine-tipped tool or damp cloth if it becomes clogged. Clean up any overspray or spills immediately with water while the ink is still wet. Once dry, the spray is generally permanent on most surfaces.
