Dip soldering on the cheap. How to flux?

So I decided to go ahead and give dip soldering a try for my next run of PCBs. And basically I'm wondering what are my (inexpensive) options for fluxing the unsoldered boards + components.

I've seen industrial equipment where the flux is pumped through a porous stone creating a foam buildup the boards are then run over. And I've seen sprayers. I'm wondering if I could just use an everyday spray bottle and manually hit the boards from below. My main concern with that is containment, not getting flux spray all over my self and surroundings.

Any other ideas for quickly fluxing an entire board?
