Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of FN-001 White to the inside of the food canoe.
- Punch out about nine small stars with a star paper punch, wet the paper then stick in place on about the top 4 inches of the inside space. Press with a paper towel.
- With MC-002 ½” Low Tack Masking Tape, Tape off a 4 inch area.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of SC-12 Moody Blue to the area. Remove the paper stars and masking tape before the glaze dries to prevent chipping.
- Place some SC-74 Hot Tamale on a palette or tile sprinkle with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium. Using a palette knife mix to the consistency of thick peanut butter. If the mix is to thin add more AC-310 Silkscreen Medium or if to thick add more SC-74 Hot Tamale to thin.
- Place the chevron screen inside of the food canoe on the remainder of the space, rub the thickened SC-74 Hot Tamale over the screen, pull the screen up as you work.
- At the end of the space it’s easier to just pencil in the chevron and use a brush to finish.
- Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, put on an addition coat of SC-74 Hot Tamale for a darker red color if desired.
