Re: brush vs tray size for gum

When I first read about this puddle pusher I tried to see what exactly 
it was, but I couldn´t find any good picture. Then, after reading a lot 
of e-mails from you folks I thought  it was a glass bar that could roll 
in an axis, that could carry the puddle without grinding against the 
paper. Well, actually it´s not :-( . Then I created a device that 
resembles a painting roll, but instead of foam is made of glass. I took 
a glass pipe, the kind used in laboratories (I don´t know the name in 
english, it´s tubo de ensaio in portuguese), cut off the end, making it 
a tube, and managed to center an iron round bar in it. With it I can 
roll the glass smoothly, like if I was pulling and pushing it around, 
but with more control than if it was loose. If there is interest I can 
photograph it and show.
