I don't propose using conventional screen anything-if it doesn't 
work with the same materials and produce comparable results it's not 
worth doing.

I'm quite sure it is possible to tape-on the paper. Press the tape 
down hard enough to keep the liquid from seeping under the edges, 
and you may take some of it away with you when you lift the tape.  
And you MUST peel the tape while the coating is still quite soft, or 
the tape will also lift the edges of the coating.
This is a major problem on rough/soft surface papers.
