As the old saying goes. Everyone is born right handed but only the truly gifted can over come the handy cap.
Your prints have this devilish look now.

Left-handed coating was a success yesterday! The gum layers were all
coated with my left hand. Still haven't tried palladium coating with
the off-hand yet, though.

Both are 6.75" x 12" gum over palladium prints (the palladium was
coated before I hurt myself).

loris the glass rod does seem to be an interesting idea as that's a
technique I've never tried before. i was just curious if others had
any advice i could mull over while enjoying cabin fever. i have to
wait until my sutures are out so i can mix up chemicals from powder,
but i am getting faster typing with my left hand =)

OTOH, if you can't manage to do it evenly with the reverse hand /
brushes and don't mind the different look you'll get, then you can try
coating by using glass rods / puddle pushers. I imagine it can be much
easier than using a brush...

I wish you a quick and full recovery BTW.
