This is a nice cast metal sign on Cross St Manchester, Painted black and gilded although the centre panel is clear plastic it would have originally been slumped glass probably embossed or cut. the whole sign is on a curve, will try and get colour shot of it soon

Another tip on this, instead of thinning place the tin of size in a pan of boiling water for a couple of mins, the heat is enough to thin the size for spraying . This also works with varnishes and by not adding thinners you don't risk any loss of gloss. one from the old boys box of tricks
