I use a magic type brush (Da Vinci white haired thing), if brush coating.
I've never been successful with foam brushes for cyano. If rod coating I add
tween.

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!
Chris
