Instructions

  1. Pour CD031 Vintage Tub mold ¼” thick. Refer to casting instructions.
  2. Once it is firm enough to handle, use the sponge to smooth down casting lines.
  3. Fire to cone 04.
  4. Using the Soft Fan with SC-60 Silver Lining, apply 2 coats to the entire tub. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Apply a 3rd coat of SC-60 Silver Lining in sections. While the glaze is still wet, shade the exterior sides of the tub with SC-35 Gray Hare (above and below ridges around tub) and SC-16 Cotton Tail (on top of ridges and on corners of tub).
  6. On the DSS-0103 Flourishes screen, locate the 2 small flourishes. On the DSS-0153 Farmhouse Screen, locate the “farm to table” screen. On the DSS-0162 Holiday Icons screen, locate the snowflake. Draw an outline around them in permanent marker. Cut them out with excess screen around the edges.
  7. Squeeze around 2 TBS of SC-15 onto the palette. Add a pinch of AC-310 Silkscreen Medium. Mix with a palette knife until it becomes the consistency of peanut butter. You may need to add more silkscreen medium or glaze.
  8. Place each screen, one at a time, onto the tub. While holding the screen firmly in place, take a small amount of premixed silkscreen medium, and gently rub in circles starting in the center and working outward. Do the “farm to table” with flourishes for a rustic tub. Do the snowflakes for a winter themed tub.
  9. Using the Detail Liner with SC-11 Blue Yonder, apply 1 coat to the inner portion of the snowflakes. Shade with SC-76 Cara-Bein Blue to the outer portion of the snowflakes.
  10. Fire to cone 06.
