The rods I have purchased are 16 inches long with 12 inches of wraped 
wire, obviously too short for anything larger than 11 inches wide. 
However, in a nutshell the drawdown pattern sometimes fails to be 
wide enough to entirely coat the image when I reach the bottom 
section of the print. Perhaps my technique is lousy. I dunno, but the 
results can be great when it works.

So, how long is the #30 rod you are using (wire wrapped section) an 
how much PUR (volume) are you using for what sized prints?

Thanks,

Don Bryant
