Re: De-lamination?
Hey Pat, Thanks mate!! Makes perfect sense now you mentioned it. The border was masked using tape then painted. We had another window to do so left that part and came back about an hour later water gilt and backed up. It has been quite hot and humid here lately so I suspect while it felt completely ...

Re: Signs From Sydney Australia
Thanks guys!! No Dave didn't buy them. The $9000 price tag on the wines mirror was a little pricey for me.

Signs From Sydney Australia
Hey guys here are a few signs I saw a while ago in an antique store here in Sydney. Does anyone know what the finish is in the Caldwell Wines mirror (sorry not the greatest flicks). Its not a finish I have really seen before. Cheers Will
