Thanks for the post Mike and the emails! I'd like to add that Mike pointed out in an email that the [water] (added by MJ) size itself is not screened just the backing after the gold is layed [and dry]. Me being the rookie I am when i comes to gold issues had no clue, but this is the kind of info I n...

D. Thanks for the response. Good news on being able to use screen techniques!
I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for, can you offer a few direct links to the appropriate posts?
I am interested in screening specifics like mesh counts, size consitency how to's, etc.

Thanks again,
Doug

Hello all, just found this board.

I have been in the business of sign making & tee shirt printing for 20+ years I had my own shop for a few years and for the past few have worked out of the house (love raising my son).
My hand lettering skills have been “okâ€￾ but I have recently developed a slight tremor in my right hand (probably too much mouse & tablet time) making it tougher on the smaller detailed stuff.
I am looking at expanding my capabilities to include gold leaf work, and was wondering if it can be done using screen printing methods? Can anyone shed some light on this or point me to some resources?
I purchased Kent Smith’s book as a starting point, but it does not refer to any screening techniques.
I would most likely be limiting to glass work. I would also be interested in any resources on other glass techniques.
Thanks in advance for any help.
