Just recently I attended a seminar given by Andy's Ochids who are know for their mounted species. He suggested to generously spray all your mounts, wait 20 or so minutes and spray again. This gives the roots time to soften and absorb some of the initial watering and even more on the second. In his opinion this mimics what nature will do in a rainy jungle.
He was also very against soaking mounts, simply because if the first plant you soak has a health problem it will be spread to those soaked after it. (assuming you use the same water or bucket)
