What to look for

Use a fine mister or atomiser rather than an ordinary household sprayer. Big drops soak one spot and leave the rest dry.

Spread the ground tobacco in a thin layer on a tray, mist it, stir and mist again. For whole leaf, spray both sides and let it sit for an hour before you go further.
