-
8 oz. Box of High Gloss Coating by Aristocrat

Directions
- Roll up pants a couple of times Then using the foil, crumpled
up in loose balls, stuff into both legs loosely, as well as body cavity
and shoulder area. The overalls should now stand up on their own.
If they don’t, rebalance the foil. The idea of stuffing with foil
is to give shape and form, as if a child were in them. Do not make
a solid body.
- Cover work area with foil or plastic. Then, with fabric stiffener,
cover entire surface of overalls, making sure fabric is
well saturated. This will need to dry for 24 hours.
- Once fabric stiffener is dry and cured, carefully remove all foil
from inside of overalls.
- You are now ready to use the 2-part hardener. This should be
done in a garage or well-ventilated area. Also a dust mask should
be used during mixing as well as application. Follow mixing instructions
carefully. Resin should be mixed in a glass or plastic container only.
Cover work area with foil. Using a brush, apply resin to the overalls
starting at the top. Do not apply resin too thick, as it will run.
Remember to get inside any creases or overlap areas. Inside does
not need to be coated. Once done, let resin dry for at least 24 hours.
Discard excess resin only after resin has hardened. You now have a
beautiful, long lasting container in which you can use as a holder for
greenery or as a vase for fresh or silk floral arrangements.
