Instructions

  1. Fire greenware to cone 04.
  2. Brush the skin areas with two slightly thinned coats of SC-20 Cashew Later, by thinning the coats it will avoid brush strokes for an even finish. Brush the cheeks with 1-2 coats of SC-2 Melon-Choly, blend the edges with SC-20 Cashew Later. When dry, float SC-48 Camel Back to the shadow areas of the face, hands and ears.
  3. Brush the hair and beard with thinned SC-60 Silver Lining, use a stiff brush on the side to remove the excess glaze so it shows in the detail of the hair.
  4. Brush two coats of SC-22 Carrot Top to the jacket, brush one coat of SC-75 Orange A Peel to the center sections of the jacket, Carrot Top will show lighter around the edges.
  5. Brush the hat with 2-3 coats of SC-32 Bluebeard in a circular direction. Brush the pants with three coats of SC-25 Crackerjack Brown, use CB-106 Script Liner.
  6. Brush the belt and shoes with SC-15 Tuxedo, remove the tuxedo from the buckle and brush with 2 coats of SC-24 Dandelion.
