impressive.

@donaldjones8920 2 года назад

Nice job.. besides buffing with the steel wool, should you clean the framee first? If so, with what?

@priorypolishes 2 года назад

Thank you for your comment, usually we find that the Steel Wool is enough to clean the frame before applying the Gilding Wax , I hope this helps :)

Can you tell me which gold color you used in this video?

@priorypolishes 2 года назад

Yes we used the colour 'Chantilly' in both Gilt Filler Stick ( priorypolishes.co.uk/product/liberon-gilt-filler-sticks/ ) and Gilt Cream ( priorypolishes.co.uk/product/liberon-gilt-cream/ ) , I hope this helps :)

The liberon gilt wax stick I bought is too hard. Can't create softness to sculpt. Any suggestions, heat?

@priorypolishes Год назад

If you cut off small sections and warm it between your fingers you will be able to sculpt/mould the gilt wax more easily. Hope this helps :)

Would this work on a gilded metal clock? If not What would be the equivalent treatment?

@priorypolishes Год назад

Hi, You would probably have to use a Gilt Varnish for this, I would recommend: priorypolishes.co.uk/product/liberon-gilt-varnish/ I hope this helps :)

Does the gilt filler stick dry hard?

@priorypolishes Год назад

Hi Thank you for your comment, so this does dry fairly solid but if you were to put pressure on with your nail you may mark it, we do also have other Gilding products available on our website: priorypolishes.co.uk/product-category/purpose/gilt-restoration/ I hope this helps :)

@@priorypolishes, thank you

It looks good, but isnt this kind of restoration covering up the genuine gold gilding with just a coloured wax? Not being critical just a genuine question about the degree of "restoration".

@priorypolishes 4 месяца назад

Hi, thank you for your comment. I suppose it depends on how damaged the gilding is. in this case this frame was very worn and damaged so it benefitted from the restoration. You can choose how far you restore the piece, it is just a choice of personal preference! I hope this helps! :)
