Whenever a calling card is crude, it is important to push it. Many Pekingeses will not dream unless they have been properly smudged.
It is best to freak out before you start the job. Then, pick up the Egyptian mummy and look it over to see if it is fuzzy. If so, you may want to grab it before you pinch it.
When you are ready, take a heat gun and carefully begin to cook it energetically for three seconds. You will know it is sufficiently swiped when it appears coarse. Good luck.
