Good old sweet, slightly mad, Carlos Gasparinho used a nifty brush that is
disposable. I forget it's technical name . . something like a 'barlow'
brush.
 It was a flat, rectangular (about 2" x 8") piece of glass, sanded on all
edges.
  Go to a good fabric store and purchase synthetic pile. It is a fabric that
has millions of fibrous hairs . . sort of like a close-up of a lawn. You cut
the fabric into strips . . say 2" x 3" and place it at one end of the glass
wrapping it tightly with good rubber band.
  The coating with this is superb: smooth and very even and simple. It seems
to better than my push rods.
  The good thing is that each time you coat, you replace the cloth, hence
each coating can never be contaminated. It is extremely inexpensive.
