  • what is the gilder using to cut the leaf - is this a blade or his fingernail? Also love the way he tamps with the tip - never seen that in any book!

  • A lot of people ask about the cutter. It's a pinky blade made from an aluminum can and taped to the finger using masking tape. Each gilder has a different one that he feels comfortable with. They are sharpened with fine sand paper.

  • What size are you using? the usual water/isoprop alcohol/glue would not settle so immediatly in all the nooks and crannies like your demo-size details please....

  • It is the normal mixture. I don't know what you mean. If the surface preparation is good there should be no problems.
