Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Apply the MC-002 12mm Low Track Masking Tape down the center of the plates. Apply 9 strips of MC-001 6mm Low Track Masking Tape going down the center line. It should look like the laces of a football.
  3. Using the Soft Fan with SC-5 Tiger Tail, SC- 41 Brown Cow or SC-14 Java Bean, apply 3 coats to each of the plates. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  4. Squeeze around 1 tbs of SC-41 Brown Cow, SC-14 Java Bean and SC-34 Down to Earth onto the palette.
  5. Using the sponge on a stick, dab it into SC-41 Brown Cow. Blot off excess glaze onto the palette. Sponge the MT-007 Divots Mat until the dots are covered with glaze. Press the mat onto the plate glazed with SC-5 Tiger Tail. Remove the mat and peel off the tape before the glaze is completely dry. • Repeat step #5 with SC-14 Java Bean over the plate glazed with SC-41 Brown Cow.
  6. Repeat step #5 with SC-34 Down to Earth over the plate glazed with SC-14 Java Bean.
  7. Using the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, outline the laces. Use the Soft Fan to apply 3 coats to the back of the plates. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using the Script Liner with S-2101 Clear Brushing Glaze, apply 2 coats over the laces. Or dip into NT-CLR Clear Dipping Glaze.
  9. Fire to cone 06.
