Digital BW, The Print

For those who are interested.....

I am about to experiment for the first time coating my PiezoBW 
prints. I just placed an order for a Mayer rod with RD Specialites; 
their website is www.rdspecialties.com.

Here is what I ordered: #30 Mayer Production Rod: This is a 1/2" 
diameter rod, 20" long, with 15" of #30 wire coverage centered on the 
rod; both rod and wire are stainless steel.

The price: $14 + $5 shipping. Seems like a fair price to me.

At the recommendation of others in this group, I am going to first 
experiment with Hydrocote Polyshield, satin finish.

I'll get back to you with the results.
