Peter, I use a 22" rod and Hydrocote and I really really like the result!
The finish is not like luster or semi-gloss both of which do not really
appeal to me.  It's a smooth finish that reminds me of a fine silver print.
The problem tho, is that you have to fuss a bit learning exactly how much
pressure to allow on the rod, how fast or slowly you move the rod, and how
not to change speeds as the draw the rod across your print.  Even with care,
you won't--in my experience-- always get a perfect coat. But when you get it
right, it's very nice.  If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me
off the list or on it. (I'm not familiar with exact forum protocol).
Joe
