Not long after it dried, I grabbed one of my «better
than cheese cloth» rags, wet it and started gently rubbing away the freshly - dried paint in the areas that I wanted the blue to show through underneath.
I then transferred the mixture to
cheese cloth and placed the mixture in a sealed sauerkraut crock (the kind with the lip of water around the edge — just the mixture inside the
cheese cloth and nothing else), and I let it sit for about 48 hours (a little longer
than the recommended 36 hours — I live in a basement apartment in a cool climate, so the temperature was around 60 degrees most of the time).
