For wet mounting Chinese paper for painting and calligraphy - often referred to as rice paper - the wet mounting method requires two kinds of brushes - a soft hair brush and a more sturdy hard brush.  

The soft brush is used to apply the mounting paste on the back of the original painting in a first step. The hard mounting brush is used to flatly apply the backing paper in a second step and to get rid of bubbles, creases and wrinkles between the two sheets of paper.

Also, the hard mounting brush is used to tap the backing paper to the paper with the painting so that the mounting paste can reach all areas of the paper and that they really stick together nicely. You can find the related products that go with the soft wet mounting brush such as the hard wet mounting brush and alumn powder in the related product section underneath.
