Started this way from day one...... it is quite easy or so it seems but I really do not know any different.
Glisten method with an 18" coater filled to the gunwales.

I have thought the same thing! Here at work they kept asking for a stand/shelf, couldn't wrap my head around it! We made one and I can't coat a screen with 2 hands to save my life! ;D

I can't coat a screen with 1 hand to save my life! Half of the emulsion ends up on the floor!

...tried it two-handed a few years ago....eff that junk!
... the first shop I worked in did a lot of larger-size flat stock, so I had to learn to handle a 3ft+ filled coater, with one hand, while holding a large roller frame with the other. Keeping that heavy thing level while coating was a bitch, and you HAD to start from the floor and coat up to about chest-high. And then spin the screen, one handed without tipping the coater, and repeating on the other side. It was a crash-course introduction to scrennprinting, for sure. Until I got used to it after a few weeks, my wrist and forearm hurt like a sumbitch!!
