Thank you very much for your detailed and very helpful presentation. I did some gold-leafing work last year and I never could understand what I did wrong until I watched your video tonight. Now I know so much more and, hopefully, can produce better work. I'm sure anyone who has tried gold-leafing can easily comprehend this video. Again, thank you very much and God bless you.
I enjoyed the video, it was good to see someone doing the Gold leaf in a commercial setting because I was researching this for my business. I did a search Lacquer in Spanish is Laca, Shellac is Goma Laca, So the last step is probably Lacquer. Muchas Gracias
Excellent how-to video! It's always great to watch highly-skilled and knowledgeable artisans doing their jobs with such dexterity and skill. I definitely feel like I could give this a shot myself now. Thanks!!
I just wanted to add that I also love your passion for art in every sense. Your are so knowledgeable and pleasant to listen to! Your knowledge has not lead you to be arrogant; on the contrary you teach with extreme humility! What amazing qualities to accompany your incredible artistic ability! Thank you again, Thank You, Thank You
I love their technique of making wind blow for each piece to pick it up. I would have never thought of that and would probably waste tons of it trying to pick it up with my hands.
What do you call a person that speaks three languages: trilingual. How about a person that speaks two languages: bilingual. Now what do you call a person that only speaks one language? American
Hector, I am so sorry but I did not understand the last word in the video. I heard the word as "lake". That wouldn't be correct. What is it that needs to be applied as the last step. Very informative video. Thank you very much.
Oh my gosh! She's SO good at her job, and makes it took so easy. It's definitely not easy. Is there even enough product in that tiny kit for a frame that size? Oh yeah.. btw.. the last and MOST important Step is #8...umm.. It's not included, so, umm nevermind.... you're on your own. 🤣🤣🤣
with my products you can do any kind of finish walmart to the best quality in the world, it all depends who applies its, you can use any type of stain or prodcuts to finish your best liking
On the last step, you say "you need to protect the piece with ...lake??" do you mean some kind of lacquer? and if that is so, what kind of lacquer do you recommend and where can I get it?
I did not understand what he was saying either..it sounded like "lake"..maybe he meant lacquer..what kind..I think we need another tutorial to find out the final step..just (LOL) Google "What is the final application in gold leafing"? HEE!
Man Falls. more like powder coating you need. electrical would be better. but the gun would not feel the same after. nice but not the same. if you wanna gold gun, get a gold gun. it's gonna feels like a gold gun
Tuan Tuananh. fuck you, you need. what the fuck did you say? I get did not. just buy gold you need and maybe Google Michael's in your aria you need. and fuck you again maybe you need.
Lacquer usually comes in quarts and larger sizes. He is selling the kits by mail. If he added the lacquer, it would raise the shipping price significantly due to the weight of the can. People would not pay the higher price. Lacquer is easily available in every country, so one would buy it locally instead of paying a lot extra to include it in the kit.
What is the last step? Protect it with "lake"? Please tell me what the last step is......it's called LAKE? Is that correct? Where do I get it? Thank you
I did not comprehend all of his words yet understood most of what he said EXCEPT for the final 'step' or 'application'..it sounded like he said we need to apply (sounds like..) "Lake"..maybe Lacquer of some kind..this is not included in the kit so it leaves us a bit clueless. No..I think I will look for a class in my area and actually watch a PRO show me how to do this..I would like to do a gold leaf framed mirror..or silver..they have many different metallics out there! So exciting! (In the long run you will be professionally taught how to use the leaf and therefore will probably save a lot of money..for if you make any mistakes with this kit you will lose your money)..not worth it..go learn it from someone who knows! Gold leaf should never be a DIY project...(until someone has taught you...at least).it is just too expensive..this is an FYI for those of you who are thinking of DIY! (Down the line..YES on the DIY..in the beginning go to a professional to learn this beautiful ART!)
I think you mixed up imitation gold leaf with real gold leaf. Imitation gold leaf is very very cheap. It's the one used in the video. If you are using real gold leaf by way of water gilding then you might want to burnish it, but you do not want to put lacquer or the like on top.
This is not gold leaf! This is metal leaf. In other words is what in the business we call fake gold leaf. This stuff is alot more heavy, difficult to break and, above all, really really cheap! Thats why she's gilding with her hands and in that "easy and fast" way. This is NOT, how to apply gold leaf. Furthermore all that, this shit oxydise with time, even with varnish. This is bullshit.
He said, quite distinctly IMITATION gold leaf. If you people actually listened instead of taking the piss out of his accent it would help you understand.
I couldn't agree with you more Tree Man. The title is a lie and you have to watch the video to realize that this is actually not gold but fake gold . He is the last person i would use the service of for gilding , he lied in the title and god know where else . I'll pay more and use someone who uses real gold and actually knows how to apply the leaves because THIS is most certainly not the way it is properly done .
Probably, unless you got real silver leaf instead of imitation. You are paying mostly for the person's time, expertise and labor. If the job was done right, and the chairs were expensive to begin with, maybe it was worth what you paid. Expert craftsmen are usually more expensive than cut rate wanna-be's.

Great video! You made me less scared of trying my own hand at gold leafing. Thanks a bunch! Please ignore the haters.
Great tutorial, in steps and not one unnecessary word. Clear and concise! Thank You!
Excellent how-to video! It's always great to watch highly-skilled and knowledgeable artisans doing their jobs with such dexterity and skill. I definitely feel like I could give this a shot myself now.
Thanks!!
Well I thought it was very helpful . He actually explained better than any tutorial I came across
That’s really good.
I just wanted to add that I also love your passion for art in every sense. Your are so knowledgeable and pleasant to listen to! Your knowledge has not lead you to be arrogant; on the contrary you teach with extreme humility! What amazing qualities to accompany your incredible artistic ability! Thank you again, Thank You, Thank You
Great tutorial, thanks Hector and thanks to the lady artist applying the leaf so expertly. How she would laugh if she could see my clumsy efforts 😄.
I was looking for tips on how to use the gold leaf and thank you very much for posting this.
Thank you for showing your techniques.
Love Real Gold Leaf on Frame work.
Very formal presentation. Quite a lengthy process and the results are wonderful! thank you
We shud definitely appreciate his effort to explain. Anybody teasing here, shud think about their own talents before.
+Peace To All - *should
Love this, "Gracias". Always wondered how this was done. Looking forward buying your products. Love secure people who share techniques with others...
I love their technique of making wind blow for each piece to pick it up. I would have never thought of that and would probably waste tons of it trying to pick it up with my hands.
This guy is really simple to understand this craft.
Wow, she made that look so easy! Thank you for the video!
Very polite gentleman. good work. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Yahoo!
Best video EVER! Love the technique. Thank you.
This time I will use woodprix to make it.
I love that 💝
Thank you for teaching your techniques. Very interesting. I will try to do it.
Thank you! This was very helpful! Good explained! 👍❤😊
What is this guy? A magician? He is doing the talk, while his assistant works ...
Excellent work. Thank for bein so thorough. I really appreciate your professional skills.
Wow, I bet majority of people making fun of the guy are monolingual. Already by speaking more than one language he is more talented than you.
+Stephie . I tell ya, the level of arrogance drives me batty . He's a lovely bloke and he knows his stuff.
stfu stephanie... did you just assume my gender
What do you call a person that speaks three languages: trilingual. How about a person that speaks two languages: bilingual. Now what do you call a person that only speaks one language? American
Sure lots of people are being mean, but lots are also just poking fun. If you can't handle light banter, you don't belong in this world.
Very good...informative. Please explain what is “lake” for the finish.
@David Barnett somebody else in this comment section said something about laka being the Spanish word for lacquer
Thank you, Hector. Very informative.
I am not sure how to protect with "LAKE". Which lake, how big a lake? Hooked on phonics, it worked for me!
A straightforward video on the frame gilding process.
Hector,
I am so sorry but I did not understand the last word in the video. I heard the word as "lake". That wouldn't be correct. What is it that needs to be applied as the last step.
Very informative video. Thank you very much.
creo que dijo lacquer,,,
That is also what I heard. I wish he had shown that step, even if it wasn't in the kit, it made the video incomplete, and leaves us wondering. :(
I think Lacquer also. like cvas2 said.
clear coated/lacquer
Fantastic - It would be helpful to know how long to leave the glue on before applying gold leaf.
Other sites say at least 25 minutes,
how long do you "wipe" the excess gold, immediately or wait until the glue dried up?
With great respect, It is not "Sanding with Steel wood" But "Keying with Steel WOOL". Have a good day!
Ahh right.. I thought it was steel brush with the wood handle ;)
AHHH YOU GOT IT ...THEN STFU.
Wool wool wool! Steel wool!
AH YOU GOT IT, THEN STFU
@@sunshinepatsoph4219 what?
Oh my gosh! She's SO good at her job, and makes it took so easy. It's definitely not easy. Is there even enough product in that tiny kit for a frame that size? Oh yeah.. btw.. the last and MOST important
Step is #8...umm.. It's not included, so, umm nevermind.... you're on your own. 🤣🤣🤣

Wow looks awesome better than most on other videos.
Thank you. Great video. God bless.
If you are going to apply lacquer, do you really want to apply wax first? Won't the wax keep the lacquer from sticking?
Exact's what I thought.
On the last step, you say "you need to protect the piece with ...lake??" do you mean some kind of lacquer? and if that is so, what kind of lacquer do you recommend and where can I get it?
I did not understand what he was saying either..it sounded like "lake"..maybe he meant lacquer..what kind..I think we need another tutorial to find out the final step..just (LOL) Google "What is the final application in gold leafing"? HEE!
Amazing technique. Thank you
Instro is very interesting ❤
Thank you so much you helped me alot !!!
My left ear enjoyed this video
How beautiful!
Very informative video. Thanks
Very lovely!!!
why does this make me laugh so hard? :)
whats funny about the video? is it wrong technique?
+Kobi Asante - No, that he is a dumb foreigner and speaks funny
Fucknuts because you can hide your face and name allows you to be an ass.
bournemouthlass if you say so, internet warrior.
julia willett
I understand all of your steps, but why do we need to use sealer. What will happen if we skip the sealer step.
can you put gold or silver leaf on say, a gun?
oil gilding or electroplate gold on seperate components which is appropriate...
Man Falls. more like powder coating you need. electrical would be better. but the gun would not feel the same after. nice but not the same. if you wanna gold gun, get a gold gun. it's gonna feels like a gold gun
He'll no !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video.
Nice
vry nice job.....
I'm curious to know if you can do this method with real gold leaf
I was waiting to see some steel wood.
+Jeffrey Baker Steel wood lmao so funny
beautiful!
where does one buy "steel wood" ;)
Can I seal with water base polyurethane?
Can you do this on a metal frame
sorry sir, what is the name of the adhesive for the gold paper. Warm greetings from Indonesia 🙂🇮🇩
good information thank you
Could I use a real pure gold paper thin instead of the fake stuff?
Practice on the fake gold 1st. $
Can I use beeswax?
"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show any stinkin" badges!!!"
Parabéns meu amigo
I want to buy gold to buy Where this leaves
Tuan Tuananh. fuck you, you need. what the fuck did you say? I get did not. just buy gold you need and maybe Google Michael's in your aria you need. and fuck you again maybe you need.
fuck Di Ch ,hard to hear you say so
Why not included with this kit........? All that work and not have a seal... !
Lacquer usually comes in quarts and larger sizes. He is selling the kits by mail. If he added the lacquer, it would raise the shipping price significantly due to the weight of the can. People would not pay the higher price. Lacquer is easily available in every country, so one would buy it locally instead of paying a lot extra to include it in the kit.
I was wondering, does it work well to put lacquer over a wax layer?
What was the last step? I didn't get it? He didn't show it.
What is the last step? Protect it with "lake"? Please tell me what the last step is......it's called LAKE? Is that correct? Where do I get it? Thank you
What is this glue name ?
Thanks a lot

What's the last step???
🤝👏👏👏👏
is this a tim and eric skit?
for indoor lacquer and outside with barniz
This is not gold leaf! This is metal leaf. In other words is what in the business we call fake gold leaf. This stuff is alot more heavy, difficult to break and, above all, really really cheap!

Yeah he kinda states that over and over again right in the beginning of the video. Did you not pick up on that? It is most likely brass leaf.
He said, quite distinctly IMITATION gold leaf. If you people actually listened instead of taking the piss out of his accent it would help you understand.
I couldn't agree with you more Tree Man. The title is a lie and you have to watch the video to realize that this is actually not gold but fake gold .

Tree,man
Yes - he said that!
HI' where can i buy
Polich
where is sound>???? :D
This isn’t gold leaf. It looks like Dutch Metal, which is a gold coloured foil, and a cheap means of producing a gold looking finish.
musik of ANANAU mmmmm beautiful
bonita canción ANANAU DE ALBORADA PERÚ
Wooow ...
I have a feeling she has done this before.
Well I appreciate the skill of the lady, bet she could do that in her sleep, shame the robot passed her the wrong wax ...
Dude! What is "lake".
Too bad i can't hear a word he's saying- the music and sounds were good, but his microphone seems defective
I love sanding with steel wood.
Brother
so, you can't finish the process? 😂
Enough with the airbrush
most people don't have that
But you can buy the glue in a spray can. Mona Lisa brand works well.
Finally, cover it with what???
i think i got riped off. i payed 1800 dolars for 8 chairs that i had just to someone put silver leaf on them.
+Junior Juniors Seems reasonable, for 8 chairs. This video makes it look easier than it is. Would be a lot of work plus buying the products.
Probably, unless you got real silver leaf instead of imitation. You are paying mostly for the person's time, expertise and labor. If the job was done right, and the chairs were expensive to begin with, maybe it was worth what you paid. Expert craftsmen are usually more expensive than cut rate wanna-be's.
Looks easy but it's actually fucking hard
that is not gilding...they are using shlag metal...chalk from cheese...
Great video but this guy will not win any charisma award any time soon. 😅
Such wasting and unproffesionality.
Gilding kit . Don't come with the stuff needed to finish the project. Won't buy that then
this NOT goldleaf but Mettalleaf aka messing
