Damn happy! That is absolutely killer!

@happygilder 6 месяцев назад

Thanks!!

@chiparooo Год назад

This was a great topic and thanks for going back through the gilding process! There is always something new that I pick up. This was a worthwhile use of your grant support. What a beautiful piece you have now. Thanks for sharing Paul!

@happygilder Год назад

Thanks Chip! I wasn’t sure what conclusions I’d reach but in the end I think it’s more about the updated gilding advice than the leaf itself

The soap makes sense, because as a surfactant, it breaks the waters tension. For example, if a beetle fell into a bucket it would float on the surface for hours, if he falls into a soapy bucket, he drowns.

Great job Paul. Thanks for making another "Free" tutorial.

@happygilder Год назад

Thank Alan!! That grant from Heritage Crafts has been a god send! No way I would have been able to make this video without it!

@mostgrossdanger04 Год назад

Thats was really useful... can't beat a side by side comparison.

@happygilder Год назад

Thank you! Glad you found it useful!!

@gildy_pleasures Год назад

Thank you so so so much for this video! I've been learning gilding by the videos of Joe. But when I tried to find him on sn I've found his son - and he told me Joe has been passed away. But what Joe has managed to do is absolutely priceless

@happygilder Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Joe is still alive and well, he’s an active member of the Facebook group :)

@gildy_pleasures Год назад

@@happygilder oh gosh, I'm so happy to know this!! All the best to Joe) Facebook is blocked in my country at the moment, so I can't be an active member of the community there. So I appreciate this type of videos more than ever. Thanks again)

Thank you Kenneth that’s really kind of you! 🙏

@venetianstudios5171 Год назад

Okay, that's WAY cooler than the sample panel I made of different colours! LOL!! Re your gilding liquor; Miriam Ellner (The best verre églomisé artist I've ever seen out of New York) taught me to use 3 1/2 diamonds of gelatine to 275 ml of distilled water for a solid gild. If you want to be able to shade the gold back, use less. ALSO, she puts a small splash (like a tsp.) of denatured alcohol into the liquor. It helps it to evaporate more quickly and cleanly. Give it a try!

@happygilder Год назад

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely give them a try :D

@gildy_pleasures Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm following Miriam for a few years and adore her works

Love this Paul.... I'm hopeful it'll help in our new sales mate... side note it's pushing the 30's here again ... so the "sloppy joes" are packed away... replaced by short sleeves. BE SAFE....

@happygilder Год назад

Cheers Ken! Man I'm jealous of your good weather. It's been miserable here since Christmas

@mazzugara Год назад

Probably been asked a thousand times....where do you get your glue from? Have you ever tried glue on acrylic sheet? Really enjoying your content 😌

@happygilder Год назад

The glue I use for glass chipping is from Wrights of Lymm. It's called Pearl Glue. I've never tried it on acrylic but would be interested to know if it works :)

@mazzugara Год назад

Wow, that would be an expensive experiment me to try. Thankyou for replying back. 👍

@heidihein8662 Год назад

So much information in this video- thank you! Paul, how long between gold leaf applications; or just until it's thoroughly dry? Also, how long did you leave the acid etch on? Did you use mica? The effect is beautiful.

@happygilder Год назад

Thank you I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Once the leaf has gone to a mirror finish it’s fully dry and ready to burnish. I always put it in the radiator to speed it up. The acid and mica mix stays on for 25 mins. I use the coarsest mica flakes you can buy from LKAB minerals :)

@rizkhan691 Год назад

26:20 Hi, would you always need to back the 12ct white gold with enamel to prevent it from tarnishing over time? Thanks for making these videos - I've benefitted a great deal

@happygilder Год назад

You should always back up your gold to protect it. I use OneShot clear so that there's no risk of it being visible if there are holes in the gild.

@rizkhan691 Год назад

@@happygilder Great, thanks for the suggestion!

@deannak1841 9 месяцев назад

I saw an amazing video with a gilder, the gold was actually 3 dimensional… please… how the heck did he do that? I have my own idea and I think it would last long enough to sell, but I just don’t know

@albertolastreto 23 дня назад

hello. Im doing gilding with copper on glass,, to get an antique mirror effect ,,,, any advise about this material _ is it copper acting the same as gold or silver ,,, thanks !

@francarroll1289 Год назад

Hi Paul . What is the name of the Facebook group you mentioned Great stuff always

@happygilder Год назад

Thanks Fran! Here’s a link to the group: facebook.com/groups/885469372033249/?ref=share

@Nickle314 Год назад

The soap is more likely to affect the surface tension of the water.

@mcfeally1 Год назад

First view. Never had that before

@happygilder Год назад

I normally watch the videos before releasing to check that they're ok, but I fell off the wagon and had my first drink of 2023 so though I'd risk letting it out into the wild without checking 😄

@mcfeally1 Год назад

Since I don't have a gold father pad which joe has sent me a link to. In the mean time I have adopted the makeup pad burnishing tip and much better than cotton ball I will. Funny he lives like 30 minutes from me.

@frankrizzo7781 Год назад

I love it. It such a great idea because trying to explain to people what the difference between the different leaf is impossible. I have seen people look at the fake gold leaf and say that stuff looks great what is it. What are you supposed to say to someone that likes fake gold. I like fake tits and they are really there. To each his own. You stuff is great.

@happygilder Год назад

😂I've never used fake gold but it seems like a fair comparison 🍼🍼 Glad you enjoyed it mate!

@venetianstudios5171 Год назад

Omg!! LMAO!! I'll have to remember that the next time a client insists that fake gold is the real thing. I actually had a client aggressively argue with me that a sample he was showing me was real gold. sigh
