RE: ***S**** Re: SAME BRUSH; PT/PD & CYANO?
DEAR ALL, Thanks for the insightful replies. I LOVE this list! Economically, the one that makes most sense to me is whomever suggested that Cyano chem was so inexpensive that I can use a large hake brush and keep it for cyano. I will reserve my Richeson Magic Bus...ooops...Brush for PT/PD chem. THANKS! CHEERS FROM BARBADOS!

Hi Bob, I haven't yet read all the other answers to your question, but I do a lot of cyanotype over pt/pd, and I can tell you-- from experience-- that you should absolutely use two separate brushes. I clean my brushes thoroughly, but I was never able to clean the cyanotype sufficiently enough to not cause a problem when coating pt/pd with that same brush. In fact, I really don't use that pt/pd brush for anything-- but pt/pd. You're better off just biting the bullet, and shelling out the extra money for yet another magic brush. ;) Diana On Oct 28, 2008, at 11:14 PM, BOB KISS wrote: > DEAR LIST, > I use a 4" Magic Brush for coating large PT/PD prints.
