I was going through the Archives and noticed someone had asked "What makes a
glaze brushable, and is it possible to adapt one that is essentially a
dipping glaze?"
I'd love to know the answer to this question.

Since the purpose of adding CMC to a glaze is to slow down the drying by
encapsulated the water molecules so that the brush marks even out, it
follows that some other materials containing that substance will do the
job. Here in the UK we have a wallpaper paste called Polycell I suspect
its ingredients contain CMC, because adding a pre-mixed quantity of it
to a standard glaze turns it (albeit temporarily) into a Brush-on glaze,
and very effectively too.
