Hello Gary, Thank you very much for such a lovely message. We are in a journey. There will be setbacks along the path. There is nothing else than keep going and learning from each experience. It makes me immensely happy to know that I have inspired you to get into sign painting and gilding. We have online courses to guide you step by step into sign painting. I invite you to check the course here www.johamune.com/online-courses/fundamentals-of-brush-control/ Lot of love, Joha

@@joha_mune I really like the idea of printing the vinyl stroke/outline of a sign and using the gold leaf for the filled in parts. i see that the letters are reversed on a clear peice of glass, i'm interested to know if it could work on a mirror, but i think the vinyl layer needs to be under the gold leaf, there seems to be a difference between using a vinyl sticker vs painting the lines with a pinstripe brush. I'm in love with the results you achieve.

Hello, Check previous comments and you will find the answer there. Cheers, Joha

Hello Lina, It makes me very happy to know that I have inspired you to get into gilding. There are many factors that could cause that your gold is coming along foggy. It would be very hard to give you any tip without seeing the piece and understanding your process. I give 1-to-1 sessions if you are interested. Lot of love, Joha

Hi Chris, you are very welcome! Subscribe to my channel, there will be more videos coming up. Lot of love, Joha

It helps the leaf stick to the bristles so you can move it and place it where you want your leaf without it falling off the brush etc.

@@Schrops hey! Just black

@@ollyink5142 thank you Olly ✨🙏

@@kevclar hello Kev! I'm really happy to know you like the video. I got the baby sponge at Boots in the UK. But any soft sponge would do the job. Hope this help you Kev, All the best, Joha

@@theocallebotero3297 gracias Theo! 🔥

You're very welcome! thanks for your beautiful message! I’m very glad it helps you. Feel free to subscribe, there are more videos coming up! plus that would help the channel to keep growing ✨ Love 💛 Joha

Ohh yeah, that's helpful! I use a pencil with blu tack in one end :)

Good idea 👍

Kev, Welcome to this family of Signpainting lovers. I don't worry much about the black number, as long as it's Nazdar paint. The relevance of this paint is it's fast drying. Hope this help you

Hi Sky, no, I don't. For cleaning the glass I just use normal water. All the best, Joha

@@joha_mune thank you so much 🙌🏻🙌🏻

thanks Paul! Pity you are so far from Belfast. It would be great to have you with us

Thank you so much 😀

Hello Paul, that's amazing, great investment 🎉 You have joined at the perfect time big things are coming soon and you will be part of it 🔥 Bih hugs, Joha

Awww this is the best message I have received today. You made me smile, thank you very much 🙏 Indeed, your Dr. Feel Good ☺️ Cheers from N. Ireland

Hello Isobel, I have done a video answering your question. Check it out. I hope it helps All the best and tons of love 💛 Joha ✨

Hola Juan Pablo. En inglés se le llama water size, no sé cómo se le dice en español. Pero básicamente es agua con gelatina. Espero te sirva. Feliz día Joha

@@joha_mune muchas gracia hare mis pruebas que dios te bendiga¡¡¡¡¡

Hola Juan Pablo, apenas veo tu mensaje. Se había colado entre muchos. Me encanta que te gusten los vídeos, son con todo el cariño. El agua se llama ‘water size’ y es básicamente agua con gelatina. saludos, Joha

Hey Alice, yeah, add a drop of dishwasher liquid to the size. Not sure why you’re getting this challenge. wondering if your gilding brush is grease free?

You're very welcome! I look forward to see you among the other students ☺️✨

Are you based in London?

Hola Leonardo, que bonito recibir tu mensaje. gracias a ti por apreciar lo que hago. respondiendo tu pregunta, todo depende del clima. Pero el oro te lo dice! cuándo está húmedo es opaco y cuándo ya está seco el oro se vuelve como espejo. Puedes utilizar un secador de pelo (no muy caliente) y vas a ver el proceso de secado y cómo se transforma el oro. Espero te ayude mi respuesta. Saludos! Joha

Make a video filling in the gaps then?

@@els46idk when it says step by step and then cuts out half of what you want to know makes it not step by step lol still helpful tidbits

Hello Sara, Hope you're doing well. You can prepare the size at your place and bring it with you to the location. You don't need the size to be warm for gilding. I have never used imitation gold, so don't know how it behaves. But with real gold, you need to burnish it to make it shinier and remove the wrinkles. I hope this helps you 😊 It would be great if you subscribe to my channel and like the video. That would mean a lot to me ✨🙏🤗 and will help me to keep bringing more content here for all of you. All the best, Joha

Hello, You can use other oil based paint. Nazdar paint is great because it drys very fast but isn't a must - it is oil based. I hope this helps you. I really would appreciate it if you subscribe to my channel and like the video. That will mean a lot to me and help me to keep bringing more content for all of you. Wishing you a Happy NY, All the best, Joha

Hello again, I back up the gold with black Nazdar paint straight away. I use black because it's the best to give a solid background to the sign. Hope this answer your question 😉 Cheers, Joha

Hey Judy, I'm afraid this isn't the best method to put gold rim on drinking glasses. Instead, you need to use transfer gold, which requires a different technique. It would be awesome if you subscribe to my channel and like the video. That will mean a lot to me and will help me to bring more content for all of you. Wish you a happy NY. All the best, Joha

Hello Petey, You need to wait until the gold is completely dry = shinny. The time depends on the weather. But guide yourself with how shinny the gold turns. I hope this helps. If you like the video and my content don't forget to subscribe. It means the world to me and helps my channel to grow 😉 All the best, Joha

Hello, Thanks for watching the video and for your message. If you find the content useful for you, it would be great if you subscribe to my channel. It will mean the world to me. Answering your question, no, the screen frame (tip) isn't homemade. I got mine from Thorn Tip, that's the brand. I hope this help you. All the best Joha Muñe

Hola Claudio, Eso es un tip, la que yo utilizo es un Thorn Tip, esa es la marca. Espero esto te ayude. Recuerda suscribirte a mi canal 😉 Eso me ayuda a seguir creando contenido y significa mucho para mi. Saludos

Muchas gracias, vere si la encuentro ahora que ando de paso por new york, muchas gracias y ya me Suscribi🎉

Hello, I'm really glad you like the video! Please subscribe and like it. It will mean the world to me. Answering your question, you need to make sure the water size is completely dry before applying the second layer of gold. It's hard to give you an exact time. The time depends on the weather. If its warm it could be maybe a couple of hours and if its cold could be a bit longer. A good way to know is to check that the gold has turn more shinny, like a mirror. Once it's dry you should be able to see your reflection on the gold. I hope this help. All the best, Joha

Hey Joe, I'm not really sure if I get your question. For the water size to flow down in large amounts the glass has to be grease free and very clean. Otherwise the water won't flow well. To get the straight line, I first backed up the gold and then painted the shadow. I hope this help you. Please don't forget to subscribe to my channel. That will help me to keep sharing more content and it will mean the world to me. All the best, Joha

I agree. You don’t explain how you achieve exact straight gold edges. The water is dripping all over the place and you plant the gold in patches. The technique is not obvious at all

@@joha_muneI think some of us (me!) are not familiar with back up paint. We watch detailed instructions on how to lay blocks of gold on glass -- then you suddenly speed up your process on video and we don’t understand how you cut out or chipped off the gold to end up with a crisp final result. Am subscribing.

@@illustratrice hey, it's lovely to have you in our community. Please keep in mind that this video is focused on gilding not on sign painting. That's why the backing up part is speed up. As well, how to back up and sharp edges are techniques to work on glass.
