First two reverse glass gilds I’ve done and they’re v far from a mirror finish, help!
hi all, would really appreciate some guidance. I’ve just started reverse glass gilding, and my first two attempts are cloudy, patchy, have visible seams and drip marks. I clean the glass 3 times with Pierre d’argent, dissolve a capsule and a half of gelatine into a mug of warmed de-ionised water and flood the glass, I don’t think the cleanliness of the glass is a problem because it floods evenly. I then wait until the next day, brush off the excess with a fluffy brush then burnish with a ball of cotton wool. Any suggestions welcome! Sharing photos of what I mean, Thanks!
