Ed;

No I don't find yellowing with the Glamour to be much of an issue. But, 
as you can tell with some of the other responses, it will come down to 
personal taste. It is possible to do this streak-free, I do it nearly 
every day--but it's not easy. It takes a lot of practice.

As to the comment about not understanding why
anyone would use these brush-on coatings on fine art papers--well, not 
really sure how to answer that, other than there being a variety of 
artistic methods and techniques non of which will appeal to everyone. I 
think that's what makes what we do better than TV--a medium designed for 
a large audience but known for its mediocre content.
