Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Squeeze out around 2 TBS of SC-15 Tuxedo. Thin with around 2 tsp water. Using the Soft Fan with thinned SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 1 coat to each gnome. Allow glaze to dry.
  3. Take a damp sponge and remove most of the glaze from each gnome, leaving it only in the crevices. Drag the sponge against the direction of the texture so that you don’t remove all of the glaze from the crevices.
  4. Using the Script Liner with EL-125 Sahara Sands, apply 2 coats to the noses and hands. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Using the Script Liner with EL-101 Oyster Shell, apply 2 coats to the mustaches. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Using the Script Liner with EL-146 Rain Cloud, apply 2 coats to the beards. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Script Liner with EL-144 Dark Amethyst, apply 2 coats to the shoes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
