The application process is almost the same for all sheet metals. You should first prime the substrate so that it is uniform and low in pores. The surface quality of the substrate and its texture are also evident on the gold. For example, the brush stroke of the substrate is pressed from behind in the gold. Choose under the gold the color that may also pass through to the need if there are cracks. Let well dry before gilding, especially with oil colors.

Bring the gold with feed milk after their instructions and rub it well. Loose gold leaf is a bit more complicated to process and cut than the “Sturmgold” attached to a carrier paper. The latter can be cut more easily with the carrier paper.

From a flat covering overpainting, apart from clear lacquer, I generally advise. You can paint or draw ornaments with a fine line. Lasting colors can easily modify the color impression.

a) yes. with milk and special tools.

b) yes. because the leaf gold is fixed with the lining milk and is quasi “painted”. you should use a soft brush and no pasty color.

does not make any sense to paint gold.

Here are the professions with backgrounds. On the outside, the so-called storm gold is used; on the inside, other techniques are required. Leaf gold is beaten gold, which is to be obtained in letter form. It is not applicable on canvas.

In powder form, this is not a gold leaf, brass etc. bound in oil, is then capable.

The value for gold leaf is the carat number. 24 carat means 100% gold. Only 50% of gold are present at 12 carded gold, the remainder being silver. Leaf gold is often alloyed with silver and copper to achieve a special tint of gold gloss. The poliment gilding is the usual application for interior work.
