BTW, Trevor, those are US prices for an European product; I can get them for
less here in Istanbul...

Very nice (and way cheaper - relatively that is) brushes that work well for
me are the DaVinci 5080 series. I use the 30 size (30mm / ~1 1/6") for small
prints and 50 size ( 50mm / ~2") for larger ones.

When the brush is moist (not wet!), you can coat with exactly the same amnt.
of sensitizer as glass rods, it's that good.

A note about glass rods: IME, a supporting paper between the glass and the
sheet that is going to be coated works better than plain glass only...
