I understand now the approach. I understand now about the grooves in the Mayer 
rod. Then, why not something like one of those grooved trowels at Home Depot, 
that are used to apply the glue for commercial tile? The talking end looks 
something like this in ASCII:

|_| |_| |_| |_| |_|

almost like a comb. Designed that way to allow the glue to seep out evenly onto 
the tile back.

But for Oleopasto, this wouldn't work, because it has a body density kinda like 
Petroleum Jelly, in that, it wouldn't level at all. It would just sit there, in a comb 
texture, or in a Mayer Rod texture.

I UPS'ed by prints to Robert today. I am very curious to what he's up to. I am 
open to be converted. Bring me into the flock, Jesus...
