Question: What do you use for a sprayer for BE Spray A? The unit that I got eons ago was in a glass container attached to a can with some kind of propellant in it.... that doesn't work any more. I've tried various misting sprayers from garden shops, and still haven't found one that gives a fine enough mist. Suggestions? Thanks!

I use a air spray gun. You can get them at any "hobby" store from inexpensive to expensive.

I use an air brush hooked up to my air compressor with the pressure dialed down to about 10 lbs. It gives a nice fine spray.

you can get a mouth atomizer for very few dollars. you can get an air can propellant spray gun cheaply at hobby places (michaels, for instance).
i've seen a sprayer that can be hooked up to a scuba tank or a spare tire.

I bought a very inexpensive ($10) air brush from Harbor Freight.

Fusion HQ (see link above) has a quick-spray atomizer (mouth sprayer); the latest catalog I have says it's $8.50.
