Would it make sense to spin-coat something on a plane parallel to the axis of rotation? Like those carnival rides where you stand up against the inner side of a circular wall, and the ride spins around pressing you to the wall. Replace the wall with a flat piece of polished aluminum, and you with some gel that you way to spread evenly. -- -Nathan _______________________________________________ Hosted by the MEMS and Nanotechnology Exchange, the country's leading provider of MEMS and Nanotechnology design and fabrication services.
