I use the SE-1 of Silverprint, but I think it is comparable in
respect of your questions.

Just put some hot water in a tray, cover it with p.e. a glas sheet,
and put the paper -or whatever- on it, so it will warm up a bit
before applying the emulsion. It is done to avoid that the emulsion
will dry too quick during the time you apply the emulsion on the
surface.

I use a foam brush and on paper it is no problem , but other surfaces
-like glas or alu- that'sr another story. If you have no experience
and/or not enough time or material, just stick to the 300grs
watercolor paper.
>Can I use a toner like Kodak Selenium Toner on the emulsion?
If your paper is ready for exposure, it can be treated like any other
photographic paper. Just do not forget that all the bathes you use
-development, stopbath, fixer, wash.....NEVER over 20 degrees Celsius.
