Additional Adaptations & Tips
- For a more mixed look to the colors, apply two coats of SC016 Cotton Tail to the face of the plate and allow to dry. Pour out enough color for another coat onto a paper plate and bring with to the wheel. After attaching your plate, add a third wet coat os SC016 Cotton Tail and immediately begin applying the rings of color to the fresh coat of wet glaze just like the above instructions.
