Anyone--

Please help with your suggestions, etc. I have tried over the
weekend to double coat with albumen. The results appear none too good.
Uneveness is the problem. Is there a secret to coating evenly with
albumen? FWIW, I am using the classic "float" method of coating. Would
I be better off using Dick Sullivan's glass rod, the ever popular puddle
pusher? Is the paper simply not taking the albumen evenly? Should I
change from Fabriano 100% rag, plate finish, 80#? Frustrating! I will
be grateful for any suggestions. TIA. Jim
