I tried using both on my surface plate and it seems to me that canode is thicker and is harder to spread evenly. Dykem shows local high spots, but canode blues most of the part (guessing the layer on sufrace plate is too thick). Also, it feels like canode grabs the part and holds it to surface plate, rather than letting it glide as dykem allows. So far, I tried spreading them both with fingers and with paper towel, which matches the technique i saw on youtube from what looks like 1950s video. Also, on youtube i see people using silicone rollers to spread canode.
My question is:
Is canode less sensitive of a transfer fluid than dykem, or is the problem with my technique of applying canode (using fingers rather than roller)? I'll give canode + silicone roller a try if you guys think that is the problem with my technique...
