\n
The focus is defined (edge, inner frame or center). For coordinated tableware, it works<\/strong> choose 2\u20133 tones<\/strong> and repeat<\/strong> a reason.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
It happens. just moistened sponge<\/strong> to remove dust; on the other hand, are avoided<\/strong> alcohols and degreasers because close pores<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Next, it is used painter's tape<\/strong> for sharp lines. It is painted and retracts to the touch<\/strong> to obtain perfect songs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
First, a light pass is given to settle the tone; then, a 2nd and 3rd hand to achieve opacity. If gradients are sought, they are mixed wet<\/strong> two neighboring tones by sections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The fine line is resolved with brush 0\u20132<\/strong> or ceramic pencil. Likewise, in the dining area<\/strong> these details remain under the glaze<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fresh stain \u2192 sponge<\/strong>. Instead, dry stain \u2192 400\u2013600 grit sandpaper<\/strong>, dust removal and fine repainting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Coverage applies homogeneity<\/strong> avoiding puddles; meanwhile, drips on the thread are monitored. If necessary, it is left clean foot<\/strong> or supports\/stilts are used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
It starts with cold oven<\/strong> and gradual rise<\/strong>; then, it matures to ~1,100\u00b0C<\/strong> (depending on the glaze). Finally, cools inside the oven<\/strong> to avoid stresses and microcracks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nPreparing the sponge cake, perfect layers (2\u20133) and time between coats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
