A rubber or plastic spreader like the kind used to apply fiberglass resin works great to apply the emulsion. I've never had problems with uneven coating using one.
Dip the spreader in the emulsion and apply a bead of it along one edge of the back of the screen. Drag the emlusion with the speader across the screen to apply it, remove excess, then continue until screen is coated. Flip the screen over to the front and run the spreder along removing any excess that has come through. Wipe up any residue with a damp cloth.
The emulsion should be the consistancy of thick syrup at comfortable room temperature.
Good luck.
