1. A method of applying particulates to a surface comprising:

  • providing at a location a mass of particulates having an average particle diameter;

    providing a porous surface with pores having a shortest average dimension of pore openings, the shortest average dimension of pore openings being less than the average particle diameter, providing a gas pressure on a first side of the porous surface, providing a lesser gas pressure on a second side of the porous surface to create a pressure differential across the porous surface, contacting the first side of the porous surface with the mass of particulates, removing the porous surface from the location, carrying a portion of the mass of particulates on the first side of the porous surface by pressure established by the differential pressure.
