An apparatus comprising:
- (a) a substrate including a deposition region and an optional uncoated region, wherein the deposition region includes a level intermediate region disposed between a first end region and a second end region,
- wherein the first end region includes a first raised surface portion extending above the level intermediate region and extending circumferentially around the first end region in a continuous manner;
- and
- (b) a dip coated layer over the entire deposition region.
An apparatus comprising:
- (a) a substrate defining a longitudinal axis and including a deposition region and an optional uncoated region, wherein the deposition region includes a level intermediate region disposed between a first end region and a second end region,
- wherein the first end region includes a plurality of raised surface portions, each of the raised surface portions extending above the level intermediate region and extending only partially around the first end region, wherein the plurality of the raised surface portions, when viewed at a substrate end view, collectively extend circumferentially around the first end region in a continuous manner;
- and
- (b) a dip coated layer over the entire deposition region.
A coating method comprising:
- (a) providing a substrate including a deposition region and an optional uncoated region, wherein the deposition region includes a level intermediate region disposed between a first end region and a second end region,
- wherein the first end region includes a first raised surface portion extending above the level intermediate region and extending circumferentially around the first end region in a continuous manner;
- and
- (b) dip coating a layer of a coating solution over the entire deposition region.
