read or heard, not all that long ago, that if you cut the 2 corner
edges of those foam brushes, you end up with a more rounded-type
brush, so when you brush your emulsion on, you can help eliminate
the sharp edge lines you sometimes get with these foam brushes. I
tried it, and it does work well-- for what it's worth.
I'm pretty sure I'd heard that, too, Diana, but don't think it was
in P-F. However, though I'd actually done that myself a time or two,
I found it may have made matters worse -- somehow the original edge
was sort of cleaner, tho I didn't have a problem with edgelines
anyway. Partly that may have been from having enough emulsion on
the brush for ample flow, partly could have been using a semi-
textured or relatively absorbent paper -- or maybe from holding the
paper relatively vertical for a few moments after coating...
I don't remember, but, whichever, it goes to show you can't lose 'em
all (especially with cyano!!!).
