3 Ways to Apply Gold, Silver and Copper Leaf

[@mantaszmenskis5619]

Pure Silver does not tarnish. Sterline sliver will tarnish because it contains 7.75 percent copper

Can you do a video about gold lefting on glass.

[@ThePaintSpotEdmonton]

Leafing on glass is similar technique but burnishing is done with a special tool called a agate burnisher. I am no expert just a practiced amateur.

why do they call the glue, "size"?

[@BaronSamedi1959]

I actually kind-a liked the music.

Can i put simple leaf on a cured varnished acrylic painting?

[@brawny0929]

Just curious if I can apply gold gilt and then apply copper gilt on top of that for a "two tone" effect?

[@ThePaintSpotEdmonton]

Yes you can mix two or more metal leaf even in the same application of size. If you are leafing over top of leaf, then you will need to reapply your adhesive size. So go ahead and have fun!

thank you, i learned a lot!

Nice - I need services for this type of work.. How durable would this be inside leather debossing?

[@kr3013]

Watching many tutorials, I saw one where they used wax paper to pick up and transfer the leaf sheets. Perhaps that will help. I haven't tried yet myself.

[@sbrbarber]

I don’t get why you used paint then covered it with the leaf? Makes no sense

[@ThePaintSpotEdmonton]

Metal leaf application always has cracks, edges and small reveals. The coloured background adds depth to the colour of the gold. It is a traditional technique.

Some of the people in these comments... Who goes to a tutorial to complain about the audio.

[@OnBeingAndNothingnes]

Aargh you are killing me with that music, thank goodness for the mute button. For the actual vid and technique:- thanks

[@jawknee21]

I hate that song now. 😡

[@Utopian22]

Look at you complaining about music on a fucking tutorial to help you. Put your problems in perspective.

[@amethyst1826]

Edited for time and coarse language 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hswing11]

Kill the music the first minute was ENOUGH

[@ThePaintSpotEdmonton]

We’re always experimenting. Luckily as a viewer you can mute.
