Jan Tana spray or apply?

[Alisonvb]

Hi there,

I've been reading through these forums to find an answer, but I need some advice. I want to get the Jan Tana sprayed on (obviously, a less expensive alternative would be nice)..but its hard to find.

Someone mentioned buying a sprayer at lowes or home depot and having a friend do it.
2 questions:

1) does it matter what kind of sprayer?

2) can i use the jan tana foam i already have and put it in the sprayer, or do i need to buy a seperate jan tana product to use as spray?

thanks for the help!

thanks for your response. so, you applied the foam with those round pads they gave? i'm just looking for something that'll be be fast, painting it on just takes so much time ya know.

You can get a few Preval paint sprayers at Home Depot very cheap. Getting several is the key - they only have enough aerosol for what fills the jar, so you throw each one out after use. You may only need one for 3 coats.

You need the liquid to put in the sprayer.

ya it does, kinda. its not that bad tho if u have a lil help, it goes quick once u get the hang of it. about 45m the first coat and 30m the others. i did 2 coats friday night in the hotel, than another coat sat morn. i prob didnt need the 3rd coat, i was really dark, darkest on stage out of everyone i think.. but that could be a good thing! and when u do it yourself u can do touch ups later, and use your on discretion if u want to do an extra coat even. to get the liquid stuff for the sprayer, im pretty sure it only come in large jugs and is expensive..
