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 3 coats of FN-013 Light Yellow to the center of the tray.
- Once it is dry use the MC-002 ½” Low Tack Masking Tape to tape off the center of the tray for easy application to the edges.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of FN-020 Medium Green to the edges and back of the tray. Let it dry completely.
- Using the AC-213 Sponge on a Stick load the sponge with SC-36 Irish Luck. Be sure to blot excess paint off the sponge before you apply it to the stamp. Tap the SC-36 Irish Luck onto the ST-120 Celtic Knot Stamp then Lay the stamp down on the edge of the tray; repeat this process until all of the edges are covered. You may then remove the tape. Allow to dry.
