What a great video. I happened to be riding on the bus and asked myself "How are mirrors made?" Thanks for sharing your expertise.

How do I dispose of the etching cream thats on the glass ? Is a hose pipe and a plastic bucket ok ? What will happen if i pour it down the toilet or sink ? or drain outside ?

I found your channel in my feed because I have been searching for tutorials on ways to apply gilding to a vintage velvet fabric for a Victorian style keepsake box I will be making for a dear friend. Your work is gorgeous! This piece is very beautiful! So glad I found you, and I subscribed immediately! Thank you so much! Truly inspirational! Lisa

Thank you very much for the kind words, I’m really glad you’re enjoying the videos! I’ve never gilded on fabric before so I don’t have any tips unfortunately, but it sounds like a beautiful project so please share some pics of the finished piece because I’d love to see it :)

Thank you so much! I've been saving to buy a kit for ages, and I don't know why I never thought that I could make a gilders cushion myself. I have a tip for raised illumination, which is a piece of thin plastic stapled to a piece of cardboard, and it works brilliantly. Not sure how it would work on a larger scale for a full leaf, but great for smaller pieces.

@happy gilder excellent video Paul, i was actually preparing to try this method out but with Nazdar 59000 series so that was great insight about the 6100 will give it a go as well. what I am curious about is through this process could you apply hydrofluoric acid to this image you just screened to create an embossed effect version of this piece?
@happygilderАй бұрын
Thank you! If you wanted to acid etch it you'd need to use an acid resistant paint called Asphaltum (Brunswick Black). It would resist the acid and it's removable with white spirit

@danielpelicaric23582 ай бұрын
I'm sorry, but one unrelated question. Etching with hydrofluoric acid requires mica. Is there anything else that comes into consideration instead of mica and can you explain a little about it. Of course, thanks for a lot of ideas and great work.

Hi, you mention 'kit' a number of times. Are the chemicals available as a complete kit, if so where does one purchase it, or if individual chemicals, where did you purchase them? How do you remove the old silvering? And how can you tell if the original coating is silver or aluminium oxide? Thanks in advance.

You can by the kits from Angel Gilding. They also sell the chemicals to remove old silver
