I am old as dirt and I must say of all the many decorated trees I have seen over all my years yours has given me the most awe and the most joy. Thank you Ruth ❤

I never thought blobs could look so pretty 😃

[@donnapolizzia8553]

amazing how shiny that comes out, clever idea

[@paulmaryon9088]

Genius, looks so good, many thanks Ruth

I love this one the most!

So pretty ☺️

Muy bonito e ingenioso. El sistema Kolmer es rápido y consigue un brillo mejor que el dorado al aceite.

Steve mcqueen fought the blob.. Ruth gilded it!

I kept thinking, I am not a number. But yours works better. 😁

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Does it create a very smooth surface? Can the leaf polish like water gilding?

[@RuthTappinGilder]

It just needs to be rubbed by the soft tissue. Doesn't need a burnisher like water gilding does.

@@RuthTappinGilder Thanks! And, I really like your videos!

Hi Ruth. I already tried to make droplets on a acrylic painted surface on wood. The one I used was the normal Kollner "yellow" and it worked as expected but my problem is that some transfered gold got sticked on the surface even if I sealed and couldn't take it out brushing it out. Do you know which reason could be? Cheers!!😊

[@RuthTappinGilder]

Hi, gold will stick exactly where you don't want it too. I've taken to using masking tape to protect form this. The gold will come off if you use something like a small stencil brush and lick the end. Hope that helps. R

[@jonathanescandonsoto6291]

@@RuthTappinGilder It worked! I used some Tamiya masking tape and got perfect rounded golden spot. It's a shame that cannot recover the scrap sticker on the tape:( I'll cut it more shape like to avoid scrap. That for your advice Ruth, Cheers!
