Re: De-lamination?
A lot of signmakers who do digital printing with solvents have the same problem. If you print on a cast vinyl to wrap a car, you should allways wait two days before laminating. If you do not do this the solvents can not evaporate in the air, due to the laminate and it will try to find its ways down....

Re: De-lamination?
Ok after reading Lee's post I come to this idea. Our paints nowadays dry from top to bottom. Starting with creating a thin skin and then slowely binding oxigen from outside and drying to the inside/bottom. This process can take 6 weeks for normal paint to fully cure. Metal leaf will seal most surfac...

Re: LeFranc 12 Hr Slow Size
Never ever cut down on the cost of good size.
Gold leaf costs way to much to budget on your size.
Good luck.

Re: What to do first? Gilding or silvering?
If you use watergilding and water silvering, do the silvering first since the silverleag is stronger.
If you use chemically silvering and watergilding, do the chemically silvering first.

Re: Clear Coating Reflective Glass Beads
Both products would do the trick. But if you brush over the fine powder you applied, you include thousand of tiny airbubbles into the clearcoat. These will give you the cloudy look. Solution: 1. Spraypaint it on. 2. After applying use a blowtorch ( fire, be carefull with the solvents, because it wil...

Re: Glass Tombstones
Exactly Lee.
She liked the techniques I used making decorative glass panels, but rather appreciate the more tempered style with only minute details.
This panel I made was one of here favourites Silvered Vines and was the base of which I made the design.
