George, I use foam brushes exclusively for platinum printing, in sizes up
to 16X20 inches. I brush in both directions. Ithink a lot has to do
with what paper you are using and knowing when to stop brushing. The
harder the paper the longer you can brush before the paper starts to abrade.
Of coarse you want to stop brushing before this point. I hold the brush
vertically, and try to barely touch the paper when I am spreading the
sensitizer around. Also, use progressively larger brushes as print sizes
increase.
Hope this helps.
Best
John
