The first time i just sat and watched the first piece of gold get a mirror like shine, I was hooked! The first time is always the best. But then it never gets old. Great result.
Loved this can you please do a list of the items used & where to buy from for people like myself who are not really crafty but looking for a craft to take up as I really enjoyed this
Increible Joha! Me encanta que muestras muchas maneras diferentes de aplicar el oro al cristal. A mi me parece muy difícil de usar el thorn tip aun, tengo que practicar más. A ti te queda PERFECTO! Gracias por compartirlo bella :)
Eli, muchas gracias por esas palabras tan hermosas. Si, el oro se puede aplicar de muchas maneras. Saber hacerlo nos da más flexibilidad y puede acelerar, en alguna medida, nuestro trabajo. A mi me encanta el Thron tip, dale la oportunidad, quien quita y le tomes el gusto también. Abrazos

Is it called 'water gilding' because you use the clear gel pieces in the water instead of using regular leafing glue/sieze?? Is the water gild method what makes it so smooth? The glue methods are all crinkly, etc.
Thats great! I've started my journey inspired by you but I don't get a smooth mirror effect for the gold. I always get a very foggy and unclear results and I don't know what is the problem, I use imitation gold and powdered gelatin as I cant find capsules or sheets, can you give me any tips of how to get the clear mirror effect?
Hello Lina, It makes me very happy to know that I have inspired you to get into gilding. There are many factors that could cause that your gold is coming along foggy. It would be very hard to give you any tip without seeing the piece and understanding your process. I give 1-to-1 sessions if you are interested. Lot of love, Joha
Wow in 50 years of specialist glass guilding I never saw that square device "thorn tip". The Vaseline was for what? I used a three or + inch "guilding tip, and used body oil around my forehead to "charge " tip. Paolo
Fantástico video muchas gracias por compartir tu arte y proceso solo lo que no entiendo es como se llama el agua que le agregas para que se pegue la hoja de oro al vidrio yo estoy en mexico y no sabria como buscarla Saludos Joha Mune
Hola Juan Pablo. En inglés se le llama water size, no sé cómo se le dice en español. Pero básicamente es agua con gelatina. Espero te sirva. Feliz día Joha
Kev, Welcome to this family of Signpainting lovers. I don't worry much about the black number, as long as it's Nazdar paint. The relevance of this paint is it's fast drying. Hope this help you
Hello again, I back up the gold with black Nazdar paint straight away. I use black because it's the best to give a solid background to the sign. Hope this answer your question 😉 Cheers, Joha
How do you suggest heating the gelatin mix when you're on location? Also, I assume since you used real gold not imitation, that's why the gold is so shiny with no lines/cracks?
Hello Sara, Hope you're doing well. You can prepare the size at your place and bring it with you to the location. You don't need the size to be warm for gilding. I have never used imitation gold, so don't know how it behaves. But with real gold, you need to burnish it to make it shinier and remove the wrinkles. I hope this helps you 😊 It would be great if you subscribe to my channel and like the video. That would mean a lot to me ✨🙏🤗 and will help me to keep bringing more content here for all of you.

Hola, saludos desde México, dónde este arte casi nadie lo conoce. cuánto tiempo esperas a que seque la primera capa de oro? Gracias por este tutorial, me ayuda muchísimo como autodidacta en este bonito arte ✨
Hola Juan, que rico que te gustó el video. En realidad no hay un tiempo específico. El clima afecta mucho la velocidad en la que se seca el oro. Lo que debes de notar es cómo el oro pasa de opaco a espejo. Cuando está totalmente seco puedes ver tu reflejo en él, ahí está seco. Si no estás seguro, puedes dejarlo en la noche y al día siguiente con seguridad estaría listo. Saludos, Joha Muñe
I did it free hand and retouched with a razor blade. While you developer your brush control you could use tape to get your lines straight. Hope this helps you All the best, Joha

Hi Alexa, thanks for watching the video. In this glass i also used nasdar for backing up the gold and dint have any problem. Maybe you are thinning your paint a bit too much?
@@joha_mune Great video! Looks like you got a lovely gild. One of the reasons the backup can chip is if the sponge is too wet when wiping away the excess gold. It's better to only have it a small bit damp I find, more on the dry side than the wet side, it's the water that can cause chipping.

Joha, otra pregunta que olvide en el comentario anterior. Que tipo de pintura( no me refiero a la marca comercial porque varía según el país) se usa para el back up? Gracias!
Muchas gracias, muy claro. Estoy inentando aprender estas tecnicas y tu video ayuda mucho. Una pregunta, como transfieres el diseño sobre el oro? Me refiero, para pintar el backup exactamente donde lo necesitas, has necesitado redibujar el numero encima del oro, con una espolvera quizas? Gracias de nuevo!
i dont get how the water size just drips down in large amounts all over the glass and presumably over the edge of the letters but then you get the dead straight lines at the edge of the letters ?
Hey Joe, I'm not really sure if I get your question. For the water size to flow down in large amounts the glass has to be grease free and very clean. Otherwise the water won't flow well. To get the straight line, I first backed up the gold and then painted the shadow. I hope this help you. Please don't forget to subscribe to my channel. That will help me to keep sharing more content and it will mean the world to me. All the best, Joha
I agree. You don’t explain how you achieve exact straight gold edges. The water is dripping all over the place and you plant the gold in patches. The technique is not obvious at all
@@joha_muneI think some of us (me!) are not familiar with back up paint. We watch detailed instructions on how to lay blocks of gold on glass -- then you suddenly speed up your process on video and we don’t understand how you cut out or chipped off the gold to end up with a crisp final result. Am subscribing.
@@illustratrice hey, it's lovely to have you in our community. Please keep in mind that this video is focused on gilding not on sign painting. That's why the backing up part is speed up. As well, how to back up and sharp edges are techniques to work on glass.
Hello Shannon, I hope you find the video helpful. Please don't forget to like it and subscribe to my channel. That will mean the world to me. Answering your question, you can use 4 to 6mm glass. I usually use 6mm. You could get it with polished edges and thoughted. All the best, Joha Muñe
Hello, I always do water gilding on glass, so I don't know if you would get the same results on cured resin/plastic. It would need to be something very clean and transparent. Though, why to put gold on plastic when on glass it will look better?
@@joha_mune oh ok thank you for the reply! Well i guess the only way to find out is for me to try lol I make jewelry with resin and have this design in my head i want to try with gold leaf. I wouldn’t be able to create the design at home with glass.
The first time i just sat and watched the first piece of gold get a mirror like shine, I was hooked! The first time is always the best. But then it never gets old. Great result.
Great Video! Thank you for sharing.
Can you please explain how long you wait between the first coat, burnishing and second coat?
Beautifully done!! :D
Thanks for this. I've been interested in this technique for some time and you've shown exactly how to do it and to do it well. Thanks.
Thanks for doing the video.
Im confused as it looks like you are placing it all over the mirror. Does the gelatine work as glue? And is the no.4 marked out?
Fabulous!
Are you based in London?
SUPER HELPFUL

It helps the leaf stick to the bristles so you can move it and place it where you want your leaf without it falling off the brush etc.
