Never used a painbrush - I'll have to keep that in mind for smaller pieces.
I always press first to warm the fabric up - whether it's plain fabric or an already pieced block(s).
I spritz, wait a bit, and then press.
Haven't had any with issues with scorching or flaking.
And my goal for tomorrow will be to use the word "surfactant" in a sentence at least 3 times.

Surfactants are compounds that lower the
surface tension of a liquid, the

Okay, maybe only once.
