- the noise of something spattering or sputtering explosively; "he heard a spatter of gunfire"
- dash a liquid upon or against; "The mother splashed the baby's face with water"
- the act of splashing a (liquid) substance on a surface
- sprinkle: rain gently; "It has only sprinkled, but the roads are slick"
- spot, splash, or soil; "The baby spattered the bib with food"
- To splash with small droplets
- (Spattering) Droplets of paint that spin or mist off the roller as paint is being applied.
- (Spattering) Is a method of applying small flecks of colour to ware usually with a bristle brush
- (Spattering) A decorative paint effect produced by tapping or flicking a loaded paintbrush onto a plain background.
- (spattering) spraying droplets of diluted emulsion on to a painted surface by flicking the bristles of the brush, which creates a speckled granite-style finish, more modern-looking that most paint effects.
- (Spattering) A technique that involves flicking the paint off the hairs of a bristle brush or toothbrush with your nail to achieve a "speckled" or "fly-specked" appearance.
- (Spattering) Small specks of color are randomly sprayed onto finished areas to create an antiqued look.
- (Spattering) The action of 'flicking' specks of paints in a controlled random pattern of fine dots. Mostly a positive technique, but spattering spirits would be a negative technique.
- (Spattering) also known as fly-speckling or splattering, is a technique which literally involves sprinkling a raw wood surface or painted background with light consistency paint usually of a darker color. A large brush loaded with watery paint or a fly speckler is usually used.
- (Spattering) spots of color flicked onto the surface from a brush held above, creating a random pattern of dots.
- (spattering) to create texture, spatter paint onto wet or dry ground; use toothbrush, or tap loaded brush against your finger; drops landing on dry surface will keep their hard edges; for softer spots, spatter on damp paper; protect areas where spatters are not wanted.
- visible drops of liquid or body fluid that are expelled forcibly into the air and settle out quickly, as distinguished from particles of an aerosol, which remain airborne indefinitely.
- The metal particles excluded during arc and gas welding. These particles do not form a part of the finished weld.
- Molten material that was ejected from a vent or turbulent flow and which stuck together on landing to form a knobby rock in which the individual lumps are still just recognisable.
- The droplets and clots of very fluid molten lava which fall around the base of a lava fountain.
- Dots that can appear on a printed image. Spatter seems to be caused by the use of denser-than-normal ink.
- In welding, droplets of matter deposited as contaminants.
- a lithographic technique in which ink is spattered onto the stone to create a random pattern. Much used by Toulouse-Lautreec.
- similar to Overshot, a technique producing spotted or multi-colored glass with white inner casing and clear outer casing by rolling a gather in tiny particles of glass; Spatter is cased, resulting in a smooth surface, whereas Overshot glass is left rough and uneven.
- When you weld, especially with the MIG process and 60 series RODS, the arc force blows small droplets of FILLER METAL out onto the surface of the PARENT METAL.
