Digital BW, The Print

Unfortunately, I can't say what I'm using at this point...but I'm not using
polyurethanes!  The key to not getting brush strokes is not to use a brush!
I use either a #15 meyer rod...for a perfect finish or a foam roller for a
quicker coat.  The roller has the problem of foam...I believe that all the
things that Martin has tried foam pretty badly.  You might try some antifoam
(hint, hint).  It is possible to get beautiful coated prints....but it
really took some doing.  That's why I tried to develop a commercial product.
I should know very shortly if that is going to go ahead.  If it doesn't I'll
release what I'm doing to the list.  I'd love to see a fully formulated
product available for folks to buy.  If it doesn't work out with the people
that I'm talking to now...I have a back up plan...but I should be able to
release the current information soon.

Sorry to be so mysterious...I just have a lot of time and money into
this...and I need to follow my lawyer's directions at the moment.
