  1. Dakota yes hide glue can be a challenge the first time. I used powered glue and it was too strong. It is also not easy to prepare, with needing to soak the glue and get the right temp on the glue. The humidity has to be low when you do it

  3. Nice work Scott. The gold leaf looks good. When ever I do gold leaf I always back it with yellow paint so if there is a pin hole the yellow paint will not show as much. This summer I want to try my hand again with some glue chipping glass.

  4. I usually spray a couple of light coats of paint. There is a product I also use called Lithochrome monument paint that dries fast but is coastly so I don't use it unless I have to. The Lithochrome is used mostly for doing headstones and monuments. If the stone is porious I usually spray a light coat of clear first to seal the stone so the paint doesn't run under the stencil.


  5. post-6565-0-11554500-1464443941_thumb.jpI need some help with this font. I am sure it is custom and I have tried but with the bad picture I have not had much luck. I don't need exact match just in the same country. Thanks in advance
