General Directions: Begin with properly
cleaned and fired 06 bisque. Thin down White and apply over entire piece,
getting into all detail. When dry, apply another coat of undiluted White.
Allow to dry. Apply Hyacinth Blue in small areas wiping back for highlights
until entire piece is covered. Dampen a soft cloth with Solvent to wipe back
further highlights. Spray with Porcelain Mist to set TL. Reminder: In
this technique, sometimes more than one coat of TL is necessary. Therefore, the
color must be sprayed with Porcelain Mist between each coat in order to not lift
the first layer.
