How to use reactive spray with the Heidi swap minc

Hi there everyone!!!

Today I will be sharing with you how to use the Heidi Swapp reactive spray.
I was a little hesitant regarding the spray at first as I really did not know what id use it for in terms of foiling.
After trialing the spray I found a few things about the spray. 
Firstly ALWAYS clean the spray nib after use. if you don't it blocks and you can't use it again. 
Next, when you spray, use a heat gun to dry it. If you let it air dry it can take hours depending how think its sprayed.
Lastly, I realized at a pinch you can use the spray as a "paint" and you can do some lovely handwriting with it. I will make a new post on this at a later date.

Ok so lets give it a go shall we?

1- The Heidi swap reactive mist is a product that can be used with the Heidi Swapp minc machine to create a spray effect. You can use any liquid glue to create this effect but the reactive mist works great.


2- Spray your mist onto your cardstock. Once you have finished, make sure you clean out the spray nozzle as the liquid can clog it.


3- Using a heat tool dry the reactive mist. You can also let it dry by it self. This can take up to 30 minutes.


4- Once dry, place the foil over the card and then put into your transfer folder.


5- Set the minc machine to 3 and once heated up run the transfer folder through the minc machine.


6- Let cool and remove the foil. The spray effect is now foiled.
