Let's Do Some Plaques and Signs

[gregsolano]

the Gold leafing looks great. Do you put a spray coating over it when you are finished?

[gwhiz]

Thanks for your compliments Team. Yes Greg, I use a mild artists' varnish coating (Hobby Lobby, Michaels etc) to avoid reacting with the faux gold and its adhesive. Since the "gold leaf" is really aluminum it would tarnish over time otherwise. The smaller details are hand painted with the same type of "gold" as powdered material mixed with varnish. Don't have to overcoat those areas.

Hope everyone is doing well and maybe back to my home base for some real life in a week or two.
