Perhaps you missed my reply to Judy, I am using a PP. The problem I am
having with it is that by the time I start pushing on an 8x10 print a goodly
amount of emulsion will have soaked ito the print and causes the emulsion to
puddle a bit. By the time I reach the opposite side of the paper the
emulsion 'bead' becomes thin and I run out of emulsion before I finish the
coat.

I use the New Cyanotype formula and have no clearing problems, I use an 8%
solution of glacial acedic acid to clear with.
I'll definately try the foam brush.
Thanks,
