What this tool is for

This 15-inch aluminum scoop coater uses a narrow lip and a rounded lip to apply liquid emulsion. It is worth comparing when the frame has room for a 15-inch trough but a 16-inch tool would leave little side clearance. The contrasting end caps make it easy to locate the end of the tool as you bring the lip onto the mesh.

Questions about this tool

Does a 15-inch outside frame fit this coater?

Measure inside the rails. The outside size does not establish the space available for the coater.

Which edge should I start with?

The maker describes the thin edge for higher mesh counts and the rounded one for lower counts. Check the emulsion instructions for your intended coating.

Would a larger coater reduce the number of passes?

It can cover a broader span if it fits the opening. Choose the width your screens can actually accept.
