3. Using CB-106 #6 Script Liner, brush SC-15 Tuxedo over the detail. Use a damp sponge to wipe off the excess glaze, leaving SC-15 Tuxedo in the detail of the house.
4. Using CB-106 #6 Script Liner, brush the windows with two coats of S-2101 Clear.
5. Using CB-106 #6 Script Liner, brush the door with 2 coats of EL-135 Mirror Blue.
6. Using CB-106 #6 Script Liner and CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, brush the body of the house with 2 coats of EL-125 Sahara Sands. Brush in different directions as the brush strokes will show after piece is fired.
