Dry thoroughly before continuing Using soft glaze brush apply three smooth coats of Grey Foundation, making sure to dry thoroughly between coats. Recommend letting third coat dry over night before going on to the next step. Using pen or dull pencil, trace the pattern of your choice onto the unfired glaze.
