  5. Let “dots” dry completely before step #6. 
  6. With a RB140 – #8 Soft Fan Brush apply 3 coats of SP216 Speckled Cotton Tail to the top 1/3 of the mug, handle and to the entire inside of the mug. 
  7. Using a RB140 #8 Soft Fan Brush, apply 3 coats of SW Peppered Plum to the middle of the mug, overlapping the Dark Brown Engobe by about 2″.
