- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Using a RB-144 #4 Soft fan brush apply two coats of UG093 Wild Violet to the entire exterior of your Wavy Mug, allowing to fully dry between coats.
- Fire piece to cone 04 to ensure underglaze is adhered to the bisque form.
- Once your piece has cooled, you will want to again moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Apply two coats of SW505 Purple Gloss to the inside of the mug using a RB-144 #4 Soft Fan Brush.
- Using a small container or paint palette mix ½ Hot Pink Melt Gloop and ½ Blue Melt Gloop together until color is fully blended. Will appear as a pale shade of purple once mixed well.
- Fill your AC-220 Detailer Bottle with the Melt Gloop Mixture.
- Apply a line of Melt Gloop mixture to the top of both of the connection points on the handle
- Apply dots that are roughly pea-sized to the top side of the handle in a domino like pattern
- Apply horizontal bands of dots along the piece, spacing the dots roughly ¼” apart, ensuring the band below continues a domino-like application. Follow the cadence below to create your Melt Gloop dots:
- Top band will have dots that are roughly pea-sized
- Band underneath will have slightly smaller dots than top row
- Continue steps 10.1 & 10.2 until piece is covered from top to bottom
- Once the Melt Gloop application is complete, fire piece to cone 6.
Additional Adaptations & Tips
- You will want to mix approximately 2-4 ounces of Melt Gloop mixture to complete the Melt Gloop application. More may be needed depending on how large you make your design dots.
- Melt Gloop will start to run down the piece if dots become too large. Keep dots roughly pea-sized to ensure they stay in place and do not run.
- If you do not bisque fire the underglaze onto your piece, it is likely that the Melt Gloop will pull some of the underglaze away when firing to cone 6. It is recommended to bisque on the underglaze first to avoid this.
