Hi again Clayart,

I just wanted to thank Clayart for helping me (excuse me, I mean my
grandmother) pick out my Christmas present-the Harbour Freight Spray gun. I
have not been able to use it because my studio is out of commission while we
finish our basement.

However I did want to ask...

How do you practice with a spray gun without wasting a bunch of glaze? Will
water (maybe with food coloring or something) give me a basic idea of how to
operate the gun? And what would you shoot it at? Newspaper? If that is
the case my three year old and I can try it out! Anyone have any
suggestions on ways she and I can use this gun for her art time, that would
not require respiratory protection?

Sincerely,
Nikki Simmons
