Not that I know what to do but..

Are the tiles the same temp as the emulsion when applying it? If you are
melting the emulsion try heating the tiles to the same temp and pour a
puddle onto the tile, rock it to cover and set down to cool on a flat
surface.

..Subject: applying liquid emulsions
..
..
..I'm hoping someone on this list may be able to offer me some suggestions,
..please.
..
..I am applying Liquid Light on 12 X 12 glazed tiles, but I am having a
..difficult time applying the emulsion smoothly. With brushes or sponge
..applicators, I have thick and thin stripes on the tile's surface.
.. If I use
..a spray bottle I have bubbles and speckled areas. If I pour the
..emulsion on
..the tile, it wastes a lot of the emulsion and still doesn't leave a smooth
..surface.
..
..It doesn't matter if I use one coat or two.
..
..The supplier of the emulsion offers an refillable aerosol can but they
..recommend this can for developing and fixing large areas, not applying the
..emulsion. Could this work?
..
..Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
