In China I saw a method to deal with this trouble. They have a big mop like
water brush and they slather on some water to partially prewet the bisque
and then the brush glides.

Thanks,
I doing some life size torsos, stoneware and porcelain. I haven't brushed for
a while, but my recollection was that I was miserable at it b/c the clay
sucked the water out of the glaze immediately when the brush hit it. Is
there something you add to a Cone 10 glaze to make it flow for brushing?

Wet the bisque first! Hose it down good with
a spray bottle. The glaze will brush on smoothly,
since the dry bisque isn't sucking all the water
out.

You bet! Anything brushed onto bisque will usually brush
smoother on wetted bisque.
