I do a light coat or two and let it dry. I practice with the webbing on the stock. Everyone of those cans sprays different. Let it get a little heavier in the grip. Then paint over the webbing once dry. Then with the last coat of base wet I web the stock. Gives texture and will not come off. I still finish with Krylon matte sealer. Be careful using other brands. I did my bench gun and the sealer would not set up. It is still tacky and smells like I just did it an hour ago from last summer.
