<fig.12, front view end of brush left of this paragraph> Took 30 day oxidized turpentine and mixed it with Backing – then added still thnner oxidized turpentine – and after the glass for the hand HAD BEEN HEATED on stove, coated with a Japanese soft haired square ended brush the above mixture over the tracing – not too heavy.
