  2. dry 
  3. Spray with sealer 
  4. dry 
  5. Spray other side 
  6. dry 
  7. Write 
  8. dry 
  9. Spray again (this time VERY light whisp spray to prevent smearing; wait 5 min. between coats. Spray several times.)
  10. dry 
  11. Write other side? 
  12. dry 
  13. Spray again (this time VERY light whisp spray to prevent smearing; wait 5 min. between coats. Spray several times.)
  14. Dry 

 

Tips: 

  • Sealer suggestion:   Crystal Clear Krylon Acrylic Coating Spray Finish ($10 at Hobby Lobby) 
  • Cross out the names on the list as you use them, and put the rocks in alpha order to make sure there are no duplications.
  • Nail polish remover will remove any mistakes
