"JORGE BENLLOCH: We have to let it dry for like a week or something like that. And later, we have to use this crystal clear enamel in order to reinforce the figurine and then start putting a coat of paint, anything. But that's very, very, very important to give this special strength that it's going to protect the figurine very much. I'm going to put like couple of coats. We have to do that outside and probably with a mask if there is no very much ventilated here. We have fantastic breeze that's why I didn't wear any. This is toxic and flammable, and you have to be very careful when you are using it, and don't breathe that vapors. Anyway, now, we are going to wait like half an hour and after, we are going to put the color that we want. In that case, maybe it's going like a white figurine or red or blue, whatever you feel like it. Also you can paint with different colors but let's see, or bronze or copper. Who knows? That one is going to be the next step."
