Hi -
I've tried a few brushes, including Japanese hake, similar brush from
China (soft, thin, white bristle), and a few cheap foam brushes. So
far foam brushes produced the best results, but it's easy to leave
thinly coated areas in streaks. Is there any improvement that can be
made to foam brushes? (something like wrapping the tip with a cotton
flannel) Or is there anything better?
I coat large sheets (up to 22x30 inches) so absorbent material that
can hold some amount of emulsion is desirable. This is silver gelatin
process. I harden emulsion with glutaraldehyde just prior to coating,
so the emulsion is very viscous.
Thanks!
