"I am happy to report, the Angel Gilding solution worked quite well. As a first try, I opted to give the piece a double coat of gold. The gild I achieved was like none other that I have seen over the years. I would have to say the gild was beyond 23K. The photo doesn't really do it justice. The gild on this sign is absolutely gorgeous! The product worked as described the first time. I also did a second piece with the Angel Gild, a 26" x 82" United Cigars Store sign. It also worked well too, and pieces that large are kind of tough to solution gild.
There would be no way to water gild the area behind the bevel without any leaf lines. Just no way to do that. Angel Gilding is the only way to do it without any marks, but the true advantage to Angel Gilding is over glue chipping. I would have had to do water gilds followed by a surface gild to cover the surface so that the backing paint wouldn't break through. That takes several days at quite a bit of expense. Angel Gilding is done, complete, in a few hours. That's the advantage."
"Hey! It (the silver) actually DOES work! I've been putting off even trying the process for months but Sarah made it so easy, I had no further excuses. Tried it tonight and got two decent mirrors! Now, we're NOT talking Primo, here, but it DOES work! Slick! Maybe I'll even get to the Angel Gilding part. Thanks to all those who "egged" me on!"
"The product works (angel gilding, copper, silver, cobalt blue) It's packaged well, instructions are excellent, and is shipped well and works as described with consistent results. I've meant to tell you before, the instructions are well done."
"On the third try, we got a beautiful gild. The only thing wrong with the first try was we didn't get enough down before silvering...Thanks for a good product."
"I bought your mirror kit and followed the directions religiously. First try ..... acceptable. Second try ... beautiful!! My wife, daughter, and my daughter's friend were all amazed at the chemistry magic show that I had put on for them ..... changing glass into mirror. I can't wait for my next project...... I need to mirror a lightning bolt onto a glass door piece for an old hot dog cooker!"
"As for what you originally suggested, I tried doing a really transparent gold layer (happy accident) and a double copper layer over that. I have no words to describe how incredibly beautiful my results were. My client liked it so much that he picked that one too. It was like a perfect serene sunrise on a beautiful spring morning! It makes me so happy to make these mirrors, especially when the results are like that."
"Just a quick note to say that the new two part Silver Remover is fantastic. Using a cupful and a wad of cotton, I was able to easily and quickly wipe away all silver residue from around my backup paint without damaging any of the fine lines. This process gave me more control over the stripping than the old solution did. The dampened cotton was good for about 4 or so sq. inches before I needed to recharge with Silver Remover so this also worked quite smoothly and efficiently for intricate work. Thanks for letting me in on this new version of the silver strip. "
"Your website is very nice, and the pdf directions are extremely helpful - I particularly like the checklists...by the end of the "Antique Silver" pictures/instructions I was all fired up to go for it. Also the idea of an adsorbent material for disposal is most excellent. "
