So pretty. Many blessings. What about on wood because I'm making a round table and I'm wondering if it will come out with time. Please let me know?

[@MontMarteArt]

Hi there, thanks for your question! You can absolutely use our Gold, Silver and Copper Leaf on wood 😊

Hello I use mont marte gold leaf for letters but after I varnished them there are few spots of grey on it. Why is that?

[@MontMarteArt]

Hi there, what kind of varnish did you use? 😊

[@Alleged_Entertainment]

New follower here! How do you apply gold leaf in a way that it’s patchy and not solid? Do you just pat the leaf paper on the area?

[@MontMarteArt]

For more control, add glue first to where you want the gold leaf. Then gently apply the gold leaf to the glue and brush away the excess 💛

[@Alleged_Entertainment]

@@MontMarteArt ok thank you!

[@drhemayadav]

Can varnish b applied immediately after? Or need to wait some time?

[@MontMarteArt]

Hi there, great question! You can apply varnish on top of the gold leaf straight away, no need to wait :)

Wondering what type of varnish did you use? Will it also prevent the foil from tarnishing

Hi there, thanks for reaching out! We used our Gloss Clay Varnish 😊 While it doesn't prevent the gold leaf from tarnishing, it will slow it down to an extent.
