Super helpful- THANK YOU!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Wow! Thank you very much. I stumbled upon your channel today and am learning load. Thank you for sharing your time and many talents! All the best, Chuck
Thanks Chuck, glad you’re enjoying the vids!!
Thanks for sharing this, I'm a traditional sign writer and have wanted to try this stuff for a while. Excellent site, clear and detailed, just what I needed.
Thanks man, glad you found it useful!
thanks for the advice
Glad it was useful!
Great information here! I’m glad you revisited some of these subjects. It totally helped refresh my memory and put a couple books in my to get list.
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it!!
I can vouch for the US gold leaf company. My work uses them as a supplier for their gold leaf and i have purchased from them as well. But shipping takes a week unless you pay priority shipping
And so it begins!!
Hey Paul, good info here. I'm still in the process of gathering equipment, but hopefully in a few months I'll be able to get started. Thank you, thank you!
Glad you found it useful!! Give me a shout if you need any help along the way 😀🍻
I know for the white gold with palladium aka superior and the 24k leaf is what my work uses for exterior signs where there is no protective layer because the don't tarnish or rather at an extremely slow rate even exposed to the elements.
Why I joined the Patreon? This! This is a great breakdown to get me started! Cheers.
Awesome, thank you Peter! Really glad you found it useful 😀
This video turned out great Paul! This is now a perfect resource to refer back to. You really cleared up my gold leaf questions. There are so many choices. The 1 shot paint has been almost impossible to get in the popular colors here in the US. They say it is related to supply chain issues. I don’t know how a sign painter could stay in business without sign paint… Strange times we live in. Thanks for sharing! Thanks for the shout out too🙏.
Cheers Chip, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And cheers for the suggestion! 🍻
Outstanding again. Fair play to you 👏 👏 👏 👏
Cheers Julien!!
What a great episode of video, let me learn a lot of practical skills. thanks！太好的视频了！
Glad you found it useful!! :D
So much good information thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Your the man !
Cheers mate!! 😀🍻
Thanks!
Thank you very much!!!
I use 5 mil on almost all my up to A-4 size. I have grabbed small picture frame glass (with the frames) for a single letter sample of reverse images, but never chipped or edge work ... great post Paul... side note>>I love the book in front of you (Smith). I even own the original hard cover. 🙂
Cheers Ken!!!
@@happygilder By the way, thanks for the book links... never seen Signwriting Tips, Tricks & Inspiration before...had to order it from England ... not here in Oz. thanks again
@@airbrushken5339 you won’t be disappointed mate. It’s a brilliant book!
Thanks very much for the video! Question: have you ever heard of an alternative to gelatine being used for glass gilding? I don’t use animal products in general but am really struggling to find an alternative!
Hi, unfortunately there isn’t a substitute product as far as I know. I was in contact with some vegan sign writers and they’d been experimenting with different solutions but unfortunately none were successful
@@happygilder appreciate your reply, one day hopefully!
Hey Paul - love your vids, been working my way through your stuff and learning as I go, can’t thank you enough for the time you put into all of these!
I’ve got one v random question - I’m on the hunt for those little blue squares you put underneath your pieces of glass to protect them/raise them from the surface beneath but not sure what to search for. Do they have a name? Sorry if it’s an obvious answer? Cheers :)
Glad you're enjoying the vids! The blue pads are put on by the glass manufacturing company when I buy multiple mirrors. I've never bough them myself but this is what you're after:

@@happygilder you legend, thanks so much!
I tried to cut w piece of tempered glass, and I ended up with a mess.
Hello Paul, would you please tell me how to quote the glass sign with 24K leaf gilding on it. how much should I price it for?
Hi, I couldn’t price a job for you, but I have made a video about commissions so I’d recommend checking that out. Here’s a link: ruclips.net/video/RZB4T1Logm8/видео.html
@@happygilder Thank you so much
Dear Paul.
Please help. Trying to find your video where you use Hydrofluoric acid for glass etching. I can not find it any more. You surely remember.
Hi, I deleted my acid etching video last year as it was too dangerous to have on a public platform. I've made a new version using products that can be purchased from amazon. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/41HM6-UUYok/видео.html
@@happygilder First of all, thank you for your kindness.
But I finaly found where to buy acid and mica. Thank God I remember how, so not big deal. Thank's
Hello, great video, i am a total novice and looking at some basic kit, i am vegan so i am struggling to find equipment thats doesn't use animal products, do you have any recommendations, gilders cushion, gilders tip, gelatin, gilders mop & glue chipping glue all appear to be animal products. I would love to hear from anyone who has ideas on what i can use
Hi Tony, in my most recent video I make a gilding kit using products that are vegan friendly. Unfortunately there’s no substitute that I know of for the glue or the gelatine. Back when I was on instagram i was in touch with someone who was testing alternatives to gelatine but they gave up after lots of tests because it was too expensive to continue with
@@happygilder hello, thank you for coming back to me I really appreciate it, I will check out the video.
Ah just read this! Thanks for your response
