INSTRUCTIONS
- Pour CD048+ Retro Tree mold ¼” thick. Refer to casting instructions.
- Once it is firm enough to handle, use the sponge to smooth down casting lines.
- Use the ¼” punch to make holes for the lights.
- Use a damp sponge to smooth down any rough edges.
- Fire to cone 04.
- Using the Soft Fan with SC-18 Rosey Posey, apply 1 coat to the outside of the tree and base. Use a damp sponge to remove most of the glaze, leaving it only in the crevices.
- Using the Soft Fan with FN-209 Floral Pink, apply 3 coats to the outside of the tree and base. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
- After the piece is dry, make sure to clean out any glaze in the holes.
- Stilt and fire to cone 06.
- Using the Liner and Filbert with OG802 White Gold, apply 1 even coat to each of the smooth “drips” on the tree. Make a line going around base.
- Fire to cone 018.
- Using the Shader with OG803 MOP Brush-On, apply 1 coat to the tree and base. Try to avoid the white gold.
- Fire to cone 020.
- Glue the swirl lights into the holes using epoxy.
- Assemble the light kit and attach the light to the base.
