Who else is watching this on Christmas Eve!

Hello! Will the accent gold chip off after some time or remain there forever? Thank you for the great video ❤

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Christina, we have never had any issues with this product coming off and it should remain forever. Thanks for watching!

I know this is design for metal clay but would it work on fine silver? I am doing a lot of hydraulic works in fine silver.Thanks for the video

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Tom, yes, this would work on fine silver. Have a good day!

[@Natyadasi]

Hi, can I use a simple stove to fix the gold coating instead of a torch?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Marzia, we do not have experience with the simple stove and would not be able to advise on this. If the stove reaches the proper temperature, I don't see why this would be a problem. Hope this helps.

Can I use this on a charm that’s made from silver zinc metal alloy? I would like to turn it gold, thank you

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Shalanda, this is for silver only - it will not work on zinc. Thanks for watching!

[@saradixon12]

Does this method only work on fine silver? Would it adhere to sterling silver? Thanks!

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Sara, yes, you can use this product on sterling silver. You can find more information on how to here: www.cooltools.us/Accent-Gold-for-Silver-Paint-1g-p/gld-102.htm

Is it like keumboo?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi, keum boo is similar in that you are applying gold to silver, but keum boo uses thin sheets of gold while this product, Accent Gold is a paint.
