Re: Boy..... I sure am enjoying
Very exciting! Funny you mention NZ, Don. If things hadn't turned out the way it now has, NZ was actually our plan B. As much as I'm sure I would have liked NZ, I'm so thrilled we're not having to move. ;) Diana On Nov 4, 2008, at 11:47 PM, Don Sweet wrote: Caught myself whistling Stars and Stripes Forever way over here in New Zealand.

I can't remember-- but I 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!!!). J.
