I mean why do you want to use a glass rod instead of a good brush?
Both methods are easy once mastered."

I've tried a foam brush - and gotten uneven results. Based on feedback from Francis, I believe my issue w/ the glass rod stems from trying to push it around too much, making it too thin in parts. I like the suggestion to try to do it 'in one pass'. I'm not, however, sure how to keep from 'dragging' the excess off the paper, onto the glass..  

Re: acidifiction.. I plan to use the technique which I believe you suggested, 5% HCl solution for some number of seconds ('until the bubbles stop", was the expression,I think)

Thank you!
