In gum printing, a hake brush is indispensable for spreading out those hills and valleys left by your brush. Using it dry and with a light touch, and starting perpendicular to those marks, then going parallel, and sometimes a little back and forth with perpendicular/parallel directions. It may be worth investigating this technique.

I believe Calvin has said that this technique doesn't work with PMF which makes me think it won't work with PVA-SbQ either, maybe it gets stickier faster than gum as it dries? That said, Calvin has said something about using a badger hair brush to even out PMF coats recently, so maybe he's figured out a way.

It certainly would thicken up faster and likely reaches a point of gelation which is unbrushable, unlike gum. If I get time next week, I will make an attempt.
