A method for spray-creating a composite-material layer useable in a plural-layer coating applied to the outside surface of a liquid container to defeat liquid leakage from that container following a projectile penetration of the container, and utilizing in the creation of such a layer a blend of first and second, penetration-reaction materials including, as a first penetration-reaction material, a high-elastomeric body-forming material, and as a second penetration-reaction material, liquid-imbibing bead-like elements. The method includes (a) defining a desired-by-weight final percentage blend of these two materials, where the weight contribution of the mentioned first material is the larger-percentage contributor to the final composite-material layer, and (b) creating side-by-side, differentiated, simultaneous sprays of the two materials to be blended in air en route toward the region of a target liquid container, with the flow rate of the first material being adjusted, relative to that of the second material, to be the greater by-weight flow rate so as to achieve the desired, final, percentage-by-weight, sprayed-layer blend.
