Windex with ammonia or the odor free ammonia in small bottle
Q-tips (the kind with the pointed ends work really well)
Suggested brushes and palette knife

SUGGESTED BRUSHES 8,14, 20 Scumbling Brushes, (Debbie Cole blending brushes work well) Short brights or short bristle oil brushes #1 liner

Preparing your surface: PLEASE START A WEEK IN ADVANCE TO ALLOW CURING TIME FOR SPRAY TO SET - Please note separate instructions for use of Genesis

Prepare surface . After surface is completely sprayed (it is best to spray lightly twice), trace pattern.

Oils: Ink in the pattern with Micron pen. 
Inking hint: Don’t press the pen down to hard. Skim lightly over the surface. Spray lightly twice more. 
Genesis: Do not spray surface. Genesis will not work over the varnish. Transfer pattern to surface and ink. If you should make a mistake in the tracing use the Windex on a Q-tip and gently erase.
