It's kind of a cone-shaped mist -- I think.

To be honest, I hold the nozzle pretty close to what I'm aiming at, rather
than get "overspray"(?) on everything behind it  -- and the floor.

I have my own, ideosyncratic technique down pretty well:  squirt the sole
of a handplane, or both sides of a saw blade, or both sides of the hatchet;
grab my "oil-rubbing cloth"; wipe the oil around; hang the cloth back up on
the hook.

So, I don't actually worry about "misting" -- I just try to get a moderate
dump and then spread it around.   (Note:  that sentence is amusing, if you
speak German)

Note that my "home mix" is half mineral oil, half eucalyptus oil (or
really, 60-40 -- because mineral oil is the cheaper of the two).  So it may
be thinner than vegetable oil.
