Thin Zaino coats

One caution I keep on reading about re Zaino products is not to over apply - ie one ounce does the whole car - my question is, how?

My old-school thinking imagines one ounce getting absorbed right into the applicator before I even get started!

How does one apply such a thin coat, especially from bottled (versus trigger spray) products?

The secret with all sealant products is a thin application. I have been using Z2p/Z5p for quite awhile. I can get about 3 coats from about 15cc's in a 30cc syringe. That's right, I use a 30 cc medical syringe that looks like this:
.

I pour the Z2p or Z5p into the top of the syringe. I make sure the end is plugged with a small nail. I mix with ZFX if I need it. Squirt a couple shots of Z8. I then mix it all up and reinsert the plunger. The syringe method is much better for applying those thin layers of product onto a terry cloth applicator pad. Right from the syringe I squirt a very thin line the shape of a "M". With practice you can get about 5cc's per coat.

You waste very little product that way vs. the Zaino plastic bottle method. You might waste 1 little drop with the syringe.

**1 fluid ounce is about 29 cc's.

I like the syringe idea. I have an extra 30cc flavor/marinade injector that should do the job.
