Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the CB-604 Soft Fan Brush, apply 2 coats of SW-148 Lime Shower to the backside of the SW-101 Pie Plate and the rim on the front. Also apply 2 coats to both the front and the back of the SB-110 Dessert Bowl. Make sure not to glaze the bottom of the pie plate and wipe off any glaze that may have gotten on it.
  3. Using the CB-604 Soft Fan Brush, apply 2 coats of SW-504 Red Gloss over the Lime Shower on both the back of the pie plate and the front and back of the dessert bowl. Set the dessert bowl aside.
