Don't 'hit' the brakes, just push the pedal s-l-o-w-l-y. If you are pumping fast then any air in the line will turn to foam making it even that much harder to get out.

Re: master cylinder sprays fluid without cap on?
yea probably cuz you pushed down the brake pedal too fast while you were bleeding it but yea like everyone else was saying its normal just to push the brake pedal slow. I just had to go through that when i put my new master cylinder in.
