I do agree that coating rods are poor (or worst) for "coating when the size
of a coating area is larger than the rod". I don't think that is a good idea
at all. My coating rods are from B&S and are made of glass,. I have 5, 10,
14 inch versions. They don't "bend" but I find uneven surface problems with
the 10 and 14 inch versions. The uneven surface is a combination of paper
and tabletop (not the rods). A few layers of newsprint under the paper when
rod coating solves all of that (for me).
Hope that helps.
