Gum Prints-Brush Work Method

Pics of your brush/es for gum printing.
Do you use only one brush or do you also do smoothing after application?

I use one brush - one for blue pigments, one for red pigments and one for yellow pigments. I dont use a smoothing Brush but might try that on my next Gum print

I use a cheap foam brush for initial application, and a cheapy hake brush for smoothing.

Bruce & Andrew thanks! Anyone else?

One different brush for each color and no smoothing brush. I have tried foam brushes but they didn't worked for me. I have tried an airbrush but with no conclusive results. Maybe a better airbrush would work. I am curious, has anybody else tried airbrushes? And with what results?

I use Richelson sp Magic brushes for all my work.

Thanks Dan & Bob!
Are the Richelson brushes synthetic? If they are don't the fibres bunch up leaving gaps/stripes as you pass over the paper?

That kind of brush only welcome when used for scrubbing toilets.
We have some great synthetic brushes here but are useless.
