Al,

Try a cheap garden sprayer – you can get them in various sizes and it has a misting nozzle already attached. Fill the canister about half with ice and the rest with water. That should get you 30 minutes of tuning.

 

Hey – I’ve got one of those.  I suspect the ice isn’t even important; most of the cooling comes from the latent heat of vaporization.  Good ideas abound here!
