Oh my goodness, you are my hero. I spent several years trying to muddle my way through the process, reading books and watching vague videos. I finally gave up just before the pandemic. Thank you for this! Question: what is the benefit of making different glues of different strengths?

@RuthTappinGilder 10 дней назад

@@Thebladeandbriarthanks 😊 You want a stranger glue (less water) for gesso and a weaker glue for bole.

RSG no longer made from rabbits. Well that's what happens if you're last in the 3.30 at kempton Park.

Ok...I had never heard of de-ionized water before today...I've been using distilled water! I looked it up and the de-ionized water I can get here has a "bittering agent" added to it to discourage silly people from drinking it. Would this make it unsuitable for gilding?

@RuthTappinGilder 2 года назад

Keep using the distilled water. 😁

Thank you for the great video. Off topic …. Is there a reputable online resource to learn about frame buying? I know very little about identifying high quality frames and knowing if I’m paying the right amount and what to look for. Thank you.

@RuthTappinGilder Год назад

That took me a long time of working on frames to be able to recognise a good one, but I have no idea of prices. This could help you learn about frames theframeblog.com/about/

I have read in other sites ,that you have to add methylated spirit...Why..and..what's this for ?Thank you and I truly am interested in your videos.

@RuthTappinGilder 2 года назад

Not to make rabbit skin glue. The only thing I can think is, they are referring to gilding water. I use to use meths in that, but I was taught very badly! I now use isopropanol alcohol. Meths can be an issue because of the dye in it.

I prefer to make my gilding water with gelatine capsules. Ruth, is this OK? Thank you so much for your great videos, you've save my sanity!!

@RuthTappinGilder Год назад

Gelatin is usually for glass gilding. But I know people who do use it for water gilding.

@paulwalker5921 Год назад

Dear Ruth. Many thanks for the fast reply!! I buy sprayed gesso mouldings for my picture frames and I’m trying Kölner gesso bole prior to water gilding. I’m still on a big learning curve but your videos have been a huge help and inspiration.

@TYoung023 8 месяцев назад

I think for chipping glass it’s around 2.5:1 RSG. If I remember right…

@ΗΛΙΑΣΚΟΥΤΣΟΥΚΟΣ Год назад

You explain everything and you make them seem so simple 👍👍👍 I would like to ask You put a ratio 1/8 glue to deionised water But what is the ratio per weight??? Is it important to have the ratio per weight????

@RuthTappinGilder Год назад

I do it by ratio because that can be any amount of glue. I use a lot so make up a big batch. But someone may want much less glue. So can measure out using a bottle cap and still end up with the right strenth.

@ΗΛΙΑΣΚΟΥΤΣΟΥΚΟΣ Год назад

@@RuthTappinGilder so you make glue with high density in order to make it weaker if you want by adding water?

It may be too strong if it's not rabbit hide glue. Definitely not if it's pearl glue.

@DavidBaker-c1g Год назад

Ruth, thank you for your videos! I see another person has asked a similar question so forgive me for asking... when I purchase RSG here in the USA it either comes very fine (like table salt) or as pellets that are more like peppercorns. Given the two grades, 1T (or film canister in your case) each have different weights, and as a result my mixtures can vary quite a bit. Can you share the weight of 1 film canister of RSG flakes? Thank you!

@RuthTappinGilder Год назад

When I get back to the workshop this weekend. I'll do that for you. I hadn't realised about the bigger bits, that would make a big difference. I'll weigh the RSG and measure out the water in ml or should that be fl oz 😁

@RuthTappinGilder Год назад

So the little pot contains 20g of RSG 0.705oz and one pot of water is 33ml 1.116 us fl oz So if you want to make 8-1 20g of RSG and 264ml of water.

@DavidBaker-c1g Год назад

@@RuthTappinGilder Super! I really appreciate that. I usually only gild a few projects each year, but for some reason this time I've had some trouble with small cracks in the gesso, and so I realize I need to get more precise with my measurements. Thank you!

@erinwatkinson6473 8 месяцев назад

Oh, right. I just made my first batch using the finer US RSG. How will I know if the strength is too aggressive or weak for gesso?

@RuthTappinGilder 2 года назад

Animal glue or pearl glue is made with lots of bits from the animal. Rabbit skin glue is just made from skin. And that's what you need for gesso and bole. You could also use parchment glue.

To my knowledge, rabbit skin glue is still 100% made from rabbits. I don't know what makes you think the opposite but if you have references please share :)

@RuthTappinGilder 2 года назад

In the UK it's no longer made from rabbits. It's now gelatin from animals. There is no longer a trade in rabbit meat like there use to be so no skin. A quick Google search found www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2013/04/10/rabbit-skin-glue-2/ Which country are you from, would be interested in getting hold of some RSG that is made of rabbits to see if there is a difference. I believe Spain still makes it that way.
