I use an ancient Tetco (?) with replacement Sefar caps...Teflon flat-edge spatula that I custom cut across the end to match the "V" angle of the extrusion...Scrape excess back into bucket, remove plastic caps, clean emulsion residue off caps with pressure washer, and dry. Simply drop coater trough into old 7 gallon Tiger White bucket (5 gal. bucket isn't tall enough) full of water to store....when ready to coat, a quick rinse, dry, and, voila! I tried leaving the caps on and dropping the whole gloppy mess into storage water, but that tends to soften the plastic, and make the coater "grab" as it passes over the mesh.
