1. after your blue is dried, girls used hairdryer, they took a sponge brush, any large brush will do and quickly dampened the surface with water, not sopping wet but just to give it a shine..not too important to get the bottom 3" done

most important thing is doing the next procedure 'quickly'

2. next came adding white (top) med. blue (center) dk blue (bottom)

just helter skelter, won't look pretty but don't worry

3. then took plastic wrap, if you don't have a roll plastic bags will do

lay it quickly over your piece..if you think the paints are drying then take your brush and add a little so that the paint is workable

KEY WORD again is quickly

now place your hands on the surface, just push the paint around until it softens

good girls and guy

don't leave big blotches

if when you remove the plastic you are not happy, few imperfections then crumble up a piece of plastic..leave it with the grooves, just touch water then softy dab your surface if you need more paint, with this piece of plastic go into it and dab slightly again..

if at the end you hate it (hope note) simply let dry and do again
