I might do that... I might use some black plastic sheeting that I have laying around too... at least to "prototype" it out and see if it's a good fit/feel.

Basically same process.  I do it one handed while manipulating the screen with the other hand.

I'm doing it 3:1  I did the first run 2:1 on the 158's and someone suggested it would need 3:1 to get to the "glisten point".

I'm also using the round edge vs sharp edge.

Same here I feel like I have better control holding the screen with one hand and coating with the other , no akward back bending that could be a pain after coating 30 screens as I do at a time.  I do 2:1 with the round side.  1:1 if I'm using the screen for 1/2 tone work.

You may find actually better dot edge definition with proper EOM (which is unlikely with your coating method)
Remember that EOM is not just a specific thickness, but a relationship to the mesh. If you are having trouble
Then again, number of coats really means less than actual deposit, relatively easily identified by the "glisten".

Gilligan, here is my drying cabinet.
Made in the corner with 2x4's, and some old paneling for walls. It has a "Fart Fan" on the top and few holes on the bottom.
I used silicone to close up any openings and weather stripping around doors to block any light when the door is closed.

Cost, $30-$40 for all (I had paneling)

One slight improvement modification that I may suggest would be some simple brackets to allow a standard filter panel to be placed by your intake holes.
