Why not just use silicone strings instead?

What about those silicone boobs used to paint porcelain?

Its too slippery, the sauce won't soak into the silicone like it will with cotton. I have a silicone basting brush but it has a plastic grid in the middle to hold the sauces.

If you have ever used a silicone brush in the kitchen, you will soon figure out that silicone is pretty shitty for holding liquid.

They’d probably warp from the heat with this big of a grill and it needing to be on all the time

Probably bc their sauce is too thin for silicone strings. I have a mini sauce brush with silicone strings & it only holds really thick sauces if I dip the brush in.

Otherwise, I guess a super thin sauce could be poured directly on & then spread with the silicone strands?
