first personal foreword:
I didn't know how this potal was called correctly, thanks to Tanya (Tale_for_Tanya) for the link provided. I can’t walk by and not borrow.
although the topic is quite familiar from own experience, but maybe someone else will come in handy.
almost all the gildings and glitters in my works are made with this gold leaf - a very handy thing! however, there is a peculiarity of its application - with the reverse decoupage, tk. it sticks to the glass with the wrong white side, then the effect is not gold, but a silver surface.
if you have any questions about the application - ask. I will not hide everything that I have gained empirically, I will share it.
And now the information itself:
Transfer leaflet is a transparent film with a metallized foil applied to it.
The main difference between f.o.m.a. from similar materials - simplicity and ease of use. You will have to put in less effort to get the desired result. Don't believe me? Check it out! The glue for gilding, despite the fact that it is based on synthetic resins, is easily washed off with water. Therefore, you do not need a solvent to clean the glue from the brushes and hands. Metallized foil is applied to a special transparent film. This means that during operation, the crumbs of the metal will not fly in all directions. The film is reusable: it can be glued several times until all the foil applied to the film has been used up.
With the help of transfer gold, you can create the effect of oxidized gold without the lengthy and troublesome oxidation procedure. How to do it? Read instruction number 1, and everything will become clear.
Transfer gold leaf "Vintage Gilding" is suitable for classic gilding and creating the effect of aged, worn gilding.
Check out step by step instructions for work with transfer sheet f.o.m.a.
Instruction number 1.
Vintage gilding.
1. Paint the blank with silver paint, color "Old silver".
3. Allow the glue to dry until it "tack" (the finger sticks to the surface, but does not get dirty). Do not allow the glue to dry completely.
4. Place the glazed film on the object with the colored side up.
5. Press the film to the surface and rub. The gilding result depends on the amount of glue applied and the rubbing force. The less glue and the weaker the pressure on the film, the less bead passes to the surface to be decorated. This achieves the effect of aged, oxidized gold.
6. Carefully remove the film.
Instruction number 2.
Classic gilding.
1. Apply primer to the workpiece.
2. Apply glue for the bead. Attention: the glue becomes transparent when dry!
3. Allow the glue to dry until it "tack" (the finger sticks to the surface, but does not get dirty). Do not allow the glue to dry completely. 4.
Place the colored side of the film with the gold leaf on the object.
5. Press the film to the surface and rub it hard. The gilding result depends on the amount of glue applied and the rubbing force. The thicker the adhesive layer and the stronger the pressure on the film, the more intense the coating becomes.
6. Carefully remove the film.
7. If you are not satisfied with the gilding result (the gilding was not as intense as you would like), apply the glue again and reapply the film, achieving the ideal result in your opinion.
You can use the film until all the gold applied to it has been used up.
