Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque.  Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats SW-106 Alabaster to the inside and top outside rim of SB-116 Flared Mug.
  3. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats SC-27 Sour Apple over SW-106 Alabaster. Make sure to brush the Stroke & Coat in horizontal bands.
  4. Using a palette knife, mix UG-50 Jet Black with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium, adding small amounts to get the consistency of peanut butter.
  5. Using your index finger, rub the mixture, through the screen image onto the mug. Note: The same screen can be used right after screening.
  6. Allow the image to completely dry.
  7. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SW-002 Matte Clear to the outside of the mug. Take care to slightly overlap the Alabaster/Stroke & Coat with the SW-002 Matte Clear.
  8. With a damp sponge, wipe off any excess glaze off the foot of mug.
  9. Place on a high-fired kiln washed kiln shelf.
  10. Do Not Stilt and make sure the mug or the handle of the mug is not hanging over the kiln shelf.
  11. Fire to shelf cone 5/6.
