GREEN GLAZED TREES AND BASES:  Apply 3 coats of Mayco’s FN-219 Lustre Green to the green glazed bases and trees.  Using a wet sponge wipe glaze off tips of branches, where you want to apply the Snowfall.  It is easier and faster to wipe off the glaze before the glaze dries completely. Using a squeeze bottle and Snowfall, apply Snowfall to the bisque areas of the branches you wiped clean of glaze.  If you don’t first wipe off the Luster Green glaze, the snow will fire blue, not white.

BLUE GLAZED TREES AND BASES:  Apply 3 coats of Sheer Blue to the Blue glazed trees and bases.  Using a squeeze bottle and Snow Fall, apply to tips of branches and snow areas of the bases. Wiping the glaze off the branches and bases is not necessary on the blue glazed items. Fire to cone 06.  Apply Hanovia Liquid Bright Platinum 05 to the trim on bases.  Fire to cone .017.  Apply Mother of Pearl everywhere except the silver areas and fire to cone .022.
