This is a cy of the prices they quoted me for stock rods. You will need
tell them the sizes you want from #3 to #75? I do not know what those
numbers represent or what size you would need. If you bought a 5 rod
starter set, you could get the size you think you would need then 2 under
that and 2 just over that size. If you tell them the thickness of your
desired coating, they could guess what size you would need.

> For the coating, do not flow the emulsion on it. Level your plate on
a bench, on a rubber pad or equivalent. Use a wired coating rod like
those made by RD Specialties (http://www.rdspecialties.com/). Pour a
given quantity of luke warm emulsion along the edge of the plate and
coat the plate with the rod without rolling it. Let dry overnight
WITHOUT warming. After some trials, you'll have a perfectly regular
coating.
I couldn't find any product information on that web site. Where do you
find a stock wired coating rod?
Do you let the gelatine solution dry without gelating on the glass?
Don't you have any problem with dry strength? (scratch, etc.)
Thanks,
