[compost_tea] spreader stickers and leaf coverage

Could some of you experienced folks who know how to get good leaf coverage
explain spreaders and stickers, and how the leaves should look when well
covered?

I used the sticker called Nu-Film at the rate recommended - I thought I'd
get a slick surface, but the droplets did not coalesce or spread over the
leaf, and even when the leaves were wet enough to have tea dripping from
them, still the whole leaf had balls of water. I don't see how I can get 70
per cent coverage, especially on the bottom of the leaf, if this is what the
tea is doing on these shiny leaves.

Should I be using a spreader besides nu film, which calls itself a sticker?

Thanks for your insights -- haven't done this before (obviously). I'm
trying to get good coverage on hybrid tea roses.
