- Here is a video looking at white gold leaf gilding over acid etched glass.
I'm certainly no expert on acid etching, but it's always good learning new things!
Here is the acid etch I used:

Thanks!

Awesome thank you! :) Can't wait to try a simpler design myself
Wow! It looks wonderful to me!
This art is fascinating to me. I'm not convinced I could get my left and right brain to work in harmony for the reverse painting though. Maybe I will give it a try on a small piece. In the meantime, I will stick with 1:12 scratch building and misc. other craft projects.
Thank you very much! I subscribed!

A really cheap and easy way of getting an tech look is simply add sei matt clear varnish to areas before gilding! We used to do it on pub signs where time and cost need to be low. It looks effective👍
Thanks Lee, yeah I tried that recently and brushed with wire wool. Came out great and look tk make a video on it soon!
Nice work... Quite a learning curve painting in reverse, either through a mask or freehand. The missing parts in a leaf surface are called 'Holidays' in the trade. Keep up the brushwork my friend,
GREAT
Nice work! It's been awhile since I've been able to watch. But now I have to the chance to binge!
Thanks for the honesty in the beginning.
Without it we're lost!
Nice one!
Be well.
That's what I love to hear Chris! Thanks pal
I used to do a reasonable amount of glass etching with hydrofluoric acid paste.
You had to keep it warn or it would crystallise and not go through a W77 spray gun
back in the day.
I'm amazed I'm still alive hahahaha shit is so dangerous !!
Hahaha, yeah I've heard it's pretty nasty stuff. Got to make sure your careful!
Gorgeous ! Thank u
Nice work. It's awesome. The font is very beautiful. Do you remember the name of it please?
Hi mate, I don't off the top of my head. I made a few adjustments myself to the design on my design software for the stencil. I'll try to find out if I remember when I'm at the computer
Awesome 🙌👊
good stuff, but can you explain at what stage and how is the burnishing done. cheers
Hi Danny, for the burnishing, I would do that once the gold is dry to remove any flakes or parts not properly stuck. Then regild as needed.
thanks for the reply. So let dry overnight and burnish..... and I am only using the cheap version - metal gold leaf@@theletterhead
Top tips cheers
Lovely job mate!!!
Thanks mate. Look forward to seeing you back.
Hello Do you make the masking outlines by hand or with a vinal cutter? As it seems incredibly intricate
This mask for this sign was cut using a plotter. Was tempted to write is standard reverse but had some tiny panel lines I needed to get right on the outside so just figured I'd use a mask for what areas I could
Looks good keep it up!
Thanks carl!
Nice sign! What is that white cut out paper called, that has the letters cut out?
Hey Morten,
That is actually a vinyl mask, I didn't feel like trying to hand gild the tiny panel line, it would never have looked as clean. But it felt kinda silly not using the mask for the letters too, it meant working in a reverse order. But looks super sharp.
@@theletterheadIt looks great! And check; Vinyl masking. I'll bet it's just another product you can't find in Denmark hehe but I'll try. I gotta try making a letter sign. Thanks and stay creative!

what kind of paint do you use?
Hi there,
For this is use ronan 1 stroke or 1shot paints
🎉🎉🎉🎉⭐⭐🌟🌟⭐
Great job with this one. I primed a piece of junk chipboard and practiced with some ronan, had a bit of trouble getting smooth strokes. Some people suggest sanding the surface and doing a couple primer coats, any tips?
Thanks jacob,
Sometimes the best thing to do is grab the smoothest stuff you can find. Priming and painting definitely help but start with smooth stuff and prime from there. I've worked on wood thats below par and it's just a pain to fix and work on
Worth paying the extra for sure
@@theletterhead Thank you!
This is jumping so far ahead -----not for beginners ! How do you construct each letter >? don't tell me ---a computer does it for you !
