When applying TotalBoat Lust varnish with a non-skid additive through spraying, it is akin to using a one-part paint with non-skid properties. To achieve optimal results, it is crucial to pay attention to proper reduction and ensure the spray gun has the right tip size.

Using a wider tip on the gun is necessary, ensuring it allows the non-skid media to pass through without spattering or losing control. The choice of tip width depends on the size of the non-skid media being used. Additionally, the varnish must be appropriately thinned. For TotalBoat Lust, TotalBoat Spray Thinner 101 serves as the recommended spray reducer.  The amount of spray reducer required depends on factors such as the spray gun, environmental conditions, and the applicator's technique.

It is essential to remember that using a wider tip dispenses more varnish, emphasizing the need to avoid over-application of Lust. Thin, uniform coats are vital for proper curing. Excessive reducer can lead to varnish sagging or slowing down the curing process. Over-application may result in a cured surface that remains soft and liquid underneath due to the high concentration of drying agents in Lust varnish. In such cases, one can either wait for it to cure properly over time or remove the coating with a scraper and solvent before reapplying.
