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.
Beautiful!
Thanks for doing the video.
Beautifully done!! :D

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
Oyee ¿dónde consigues las hojas de oro?
@@gabllegoselizalde Hola Gabriel, yo las consigo en Londres. Tu donde estas ubicado? Se que tambien las puedes conseguir en USA, Espana e Italia
@@joha_munewhat is a turn table?
I have never seen this.
Where do I find this?
@@mh1066 hello, I think you mean a Thurn Tip? Search for it online.
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
Hello Isobel, I have done a video answering your question. Check it out. I hope it helps
All the best and tons of love 💛

Sensacionais você me ajudou muito estava desconfiado que não era só água desmineralizada agora sei que tem gelatina incolor dicas de " ouro" muito grato por compartilhar
Hola Anderson,
Me alegra saber que el video te ha ayudado. Si, necesitas agregar un poquito de gelatina al agua.
Dale like al video y subscribste a mi canal 🙏 Eso me ayudaría muchísimo a crecer y seguir compartiendo.
Abrazos,

Can you use regular acrylic paint instead of the back up paint that you used?
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,

is it possible to make this in front of glass
I made stain glass work and need to sign it about 1\4 hight and 1 inch long caracter but everybody tel me the glass are not purus and the leaf of gold do not stick to it ; i know the the gold inck existe but not avelable here in quebec city canda
do you thing if I sand blast the glass or pass it at diamond file the gold leaft stick to it
or any othe technic for thsi kind of little sign at botton of glass window
normaly we sign by dremmel or eaching cream maybe that give a good subtrack to stick wour paint ???
Hola Joha. Muy buena tu explicación. Crees que podría funcionar con plata o aluminio?
Desde que sean hoja suelta diría que si
@@joha_mune gracias por tu respuesta. Voy a probar con plata. La de aluminio no se adhirió bien al vidrio
hello, this technique works also with glitter ? to stick glitter to the glass ? thnks ;)
Great video. I have subscribed. Which black nazdar paint did you use. There seems to be several blacks. Is it 6100? Thanks
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
Looks beautiful.
How do you get your paint lines so straight? Is there a trick, or is it just a very steady hand with a mahl stick?
Thank you
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
So perfect! I'm a little jealous - my backup always gets chips when I clean it - no matter how gentle I try to be. (I use Nazdar)
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_mune after some experience you will ignore some minute cracks, but 2 layers was always safe
Paolo
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
Hi Paolo, yeah, the vaseline is for charge the thorn tip
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
@@joha_mune muchas gracia hare mis pruebas que dios te bendiga¡¡¡¡¡
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!
Gracias Diego.
Si, debes de pasar el diseño ensima del oro. Yo utilizo un pounce wheel y transfiero el diseño con tiza o carboncillo.
@@joha_mune muchas graciad por la respuesta. Lo intentaré! :)
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.

Can ı ask after cover gold do you cover the gold inside with black paint ??
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
hello, may ı ask do you use distilled water with bon ami cake to clean glass ?
Hi Sky, no, I don't. For cleaning the glass I just use normal water.
All the best,
Joha
@@joha_mune thank you so much 🙌🏻🙌🏻
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!
Es pintura de serigrafia. La ventaja de esa pintura es que tiene mucho pigmento y seca muy rápido. Aunque en realidad cualquier pintura te sirve
@@joha_mune gracias, muy útil. La información y gracias por el tiempo y la dedicación que pones en responder las preguntas!
Hi! I wanna try this but ı dont understood soft water? İts mean just boiled water or something else?
Can this method be used for putting gold rim of drinking glass?
Hey Judy,
I'm afraid this isn't the best method to put gold rim on drinking glasses. Instead, you need to use transfer gold, which requires a different technique.
It would be awesome if you subscribe to my channel and like the video. That will mean a lot to me and will help me to bring more content for all of you.
Wish you a happy NY.

What is pierre d’argent? I looked it up but couldn’t find what it is
It's a natural cleaner
Is the square screen frame homemade? Can you give me a tutorial on how to make it? Thank you
Hello,
Thanks for watching the video and for your message. If you find the content useful for you, it would be great if you subscribe to my channel. It will mean the world to me.
Answering your question, no, the screen frame (tip) isn't homemade. I got mine from Thorn Tip, that's the brand.
I hope this help you.
All the best

Hello, am i able to get the same results using a piece of cured resin/plastic or does it have to be glass?
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.
What type of glass do you buy for this please?
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
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
why skip the paint part, incomplete af
Lots of steps missing
Make a video filling in the gaps then?
