Re: Blog Thread: PLEASE READ

Hi Jo,
Well done for creating this. It’s what I was trying to suggest back in August in the “I’m off” thread.
You’ve been very proactive since your appointment and I hope this is successful as a practical compromise to “declutter” some topics.
Good job :clap:
Best, Allan

Re: Gilding for Dummies

Dermot, absolutely no need to apologise!!
I’ll go with your recommendation, you’re right the total cost is still very reasonable (probably just the tight Scotsman coming out of me :D )

Cheers again

Re: Gilding for Dummies

Hi Dermot, I noticed the delivery charge for one roll of gold foil is -£10.50 and found the following on EBay and wondered if you think this is the same foil? Regards Allan https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303527392142?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nKcixkgWRR2&sssrc=234962...

No doubt we’ll all be sitting with shiny new gold projects waiting on your next post to calm it down :D

I’d certainly be interested in your hand finishing course if you came north of the border :D
I’m in the East Neuk of Fife which is not that far from Perth.

I’m working my way through them so many thanks for these as I’m finding them very useful. Not sure it would be worth a video on its own but I recently changed the glass cutting wheel on my Excalibur and found it quite tricky and was unsure if I was doing it right. Might be good to combine & show...

Hopefully this link works but if not then search for “off cuts formula” and you should be able to find a file to download that does what you want.
