Anyone tried putting superglue into an atomizer/sprayer for large areas?

I need to evenly cover an area, and thought about mixing acetone with CA glue and spraying with a fine pump spray. I don't know what ratio to mix though, or whether the CA aspect of the mix will clog the atomizer's tube after only one use.

Any thoughts? I'd love to hear how you guys spread CA glue over large areas evenly.

For full disclosure: I'm actually needing to do this with small plastic toys that I make. CA glue makes a good scratch resistant shield for the custom paint job. But getting it on and into the intricate details is a pain. But the answer will be relevant to me for when I put wood scales on some of my knives, as well as when I make little boxes out of some of the woods I have as gifts.
 
Shop Talk isn't the right forum for this,. but I'll lave it here for now.

You are using the wrong adhesive. Talk to someone in the glue/paint business, and they can recommend the right stuff. CA will not work for what you want to do. There are spray lacquers and polyurethanes that may work far better.
