Re: coating

Carl, Nick...

It's worth considering good brushes and rollers for coating.
Some of my research  have led to  Purdy products such as:

http://www.purdycorp.com/catalog/brushes/display/422/professional

http://www.purdycorp.com/catalog/covers/display/1/null

I haven't tried these yet and there are other brands that offer 
DuPont SRT filaments that may be less expensive than Purdy. 
If anyone is playing with coatings, these may be worth a try.

Also - rollers with the shortest nap would be the ideal (like the 
Purdy White Dove).
