Wipe down the bisque with a damp Synthetic Sponge to remove any dust.
Optional step. If you are placing the piece outside environment the inside of the piece should be glazed to retard the absorption of water. Thin some S-2101 Crystal Clear Brushing in the Plastic Cup to the consistency of heavy cream. Pour the thinned glaze into the sphere and/or pedestal. While working quickly, rotate the piece to cover the inside of the piece. Pour out the excess glaze to drain and dry. Use a damp Synthetic Sponge to remove any glaze from the outside of the ware. Let dry.
Apply 3 coats of EL-124 Stormy Blue to the Sphere. Apply 3 coats to the top and bottom trim on the pedestal. Back off the 3rd coat about ¼” from the top edge where the main portion of the pedestal starts.
Shake and Stir CG-722 Seawind. Apply 2-3 coats to the middle section of the pedestal evenly dispersing the crystals.
Stilt and Fire the piece to Shelf Cone 05. The slightly higher glaze firing temperature will produce the silvery sheen to the glaze. Firing to Cone 06 will not produce the silvery metallic sheen in the glaze
