I think it is for both who are using ready emulsions or making their own.
How do you cover your tin (ok, precut aluminum :))) plates so emulsion spreads better and more evenly?
I am looking for "best practices" here.
So far best techique i got is to pour some emulsion on plate and try to spread it in same way as its done with collodion (one corner to another in counter clockwise), and gently touch spots they trying to stay dry, so they could be wettened as well.. then just horizontal/vertical movements to make sure emulsion spreaded.
I tried to use brush/foam brush - doesnt seem to work as good as just spreading it with fingers(in glove).
