in your workplace. You should use the minimum amnt. of solution that will
cover your coating area. I use 1.5ml coating solution per 8x10 print - my
brush is a nicely moistened Da Vinci brush (a good synthetic brush! I dip
the brush in distilled water then brush on a paper towel to moisten it
without diluting the coating solution).
