@dsmdgold WOW! You must have watched the video a hundred times! Kudos! Well done! Take a bow! I wonder if Mr H might illuminate us as to how many of them you got right? (They all look good to me, but I am no expert.)

@potus2020c Illuminating yes. However, not as graphic as other posts I have read.
Gold paint? Er, no. Gold leaf. And silver, though that tarnishes to black pretty quickly. Gold paint is for kindergarden. ;)

@ClassicalBookworm Well, a. had to rhyme with saint, b) researched that liquid gold, gold pigment, and shell gold were some of the earliest forms of gilding..gold leaf was considered supreme.
