Re: Gold leaf on copper

Many thanks for your input guys!

Kent, what clear coat do you use when the item is to be handled? Doesn't gold look too plasticky when clear-coated? The thinner the better, I guess.

Steve, what brand of red oxide primer and enamel do you use? The brands I know are not suitable for copper.
