Using the Mouth Atomizer
The mouth atomizer, which can be thought of as a poor
man's airbrush, is an inexpensive device (under $5 US) that can
be used to spread kiln wash or other liquids evenly over a
surface.
 |
As the illustration to the left indicates, a
mouth atomizer consists of two hinged tubes, one of
which is placed into the liquid to be sprayed and the
other of which is blown into by mouth. (The
atomizer shown here has a black plastic mouthpiece; some
models are bare metal on both ends.) Learning
to use the atomizer is a matter of practice and of
blowing hard enough to create a venturi effect between
the tubes. This sucks the liquid up the long tube
and then propels it forward so that it sprays the
desired surface. |
