Fan Brushes - The best way to apply brushing glazes

These seem to work well for brushing glazes whether the bristles are fine or coarse, stiff or soft. The key to their utility is the shape. Glazes are gummed and gelled. An ordinary brush, when dipped, pulls together, minimizing the total load it can hold and the breadth of stroke it can make. But these stay fanned. Each bristle has access to more glaze, and thus the brush can deliver more. The fan shape also assists in spreading it evenly over the surface; after all, that is the purpose, spreading evenly, not decorating. Gelled slurries drip much less, so a fan brush can be dipped and brushed in rapid succession. And, these brushes are much easier to clean. These were purchased at Michaels, they are good quality and inexpensive.
