Re: [Digital BW] Mayer Rod Coating

2003-08-07 by Robert Morrison

That's exactly what you need.  ~You will also want a 1/2" piece of glass
to use as a flat surface, some means
of tacking down the print, masking tape will work and will also need a
large syringe for applying the
hydrocote in a bead at one edge of the paper in order to draw it down
with the Mayer rod.
