"So the next thing we're going to do is we're going to get our air compressor turned on and it allows the, to fill with air and get compressed so we want our air to get compressed and get ready. If you're going to be spray tanning yourself at home more than two or three times a year, I recommend investing in something like this. They're fairly inexpensive, $50 or less, maybe Lowe's, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, something like that, 100 PSI or less. It's a fairly small, lightweight; this is larger than you probably would need at home but just go ask for the smallest one that they have. It also comes with your equipment. It will come with your hose, it's a very small spray gun so if you're looking at something, purchasing one and it has like a large fan spray hose, don't get that, it's way too strong for what you need, you just want a small, tell them that it's something you're using, what you're using it for and they can recommend which size. The 100 PSI or smaller but go ahead and get this turned on, it takes a few minutes to get ready, filled up with air before you spray tan. We're going to go ahead and fill the cup with our solution and get ready to spray."
