Terry, Danny, many thanks to you!

Hello, guys! I was looking for how to achieve a smooth edge with gilding. And found a few posts, which refers about LHSS backing black.
But i don't know what this. Can you tell me? And also I want to know what you're doing backups.

Guys, i had in mind water gilding. Not gold solution. Can I first to do water gilding, and then to silver?

Ok! And if I first silvered, then take off a layer of silver in those places where i need to gild ? How it did the ancient masters?

Hi, guys! I have another question for you.Now I started to make a copy of the Victorian mirror.Started and stopped...The fact that the mirror giltly. And now I'm thinking what to do first.... Gilding ? Or silvering ? Any ideas?

Thanks, Lee!!!

Hi, guys! Can you help me ? I need to remove backing paint and amalgams on mirror. But not the whole cover. I need to get a certain pattern. Anyone knows how to do it?

Hi,guys! I have question. How do you clean the glass before etching ? I just clean with Mr Muscle, but some spot were on the glass.

Hi, guys!

Hi, Tyler ! I used destilled water and gelatin. Size poured in plastic cup. I heat it in microwave to 40-60 C. I did not wipe the size. I just smear brush on glass. Then i put leafe gold on glass. And wait some time. Then I polish with cotton. I tried to water after application of gold leaf above, b...

It's a ordinary glass. These glare because gold leaf is not tightly adhered to the glass. I think so...

Hello, guys! Recently, I received a parcel with real gold.I tried to gild them. Here are the pictures of what happened. Again spots
What could it be? I have tried with varying amounts of gelatin. But the result is the same...

Thanks a lot, guys ! I am sure I will succeed. This weekend I will try again.

Thanks Mike Jackson & Robare M. Novou for cooperation.
I used not pure gold. I thought I could gild not too expensive Gold Leaf. Probably too little gelatin. is my third attempt of gilding.

Hi! I have a problem with gilding When I start to take off the gold leaf, it is removed with paint I used 191-L imitation gold 1 shot enamel. Whats a problem ? this may be because I'm using is not pure gold?

David, the ink can withstand the effect of acid ???

I watched the movie and envied ....envied of how professional you are working! Now I know what to strive for. David, what kind of paint you use when doing screen printing.

Hello again !
I want to ask you what kind recipe of acid use to etch glass . I found one recipe, but i do not like the result. Glass turns too grainy. I saw a lot of work on the Internet and they are very delicate etching.

When i read "Rick Glawson's Review of the original Glue-Chip Process" , i understand that Rick does not use asphalt varnish. Only stencil . it means i can do without it?
