OUGD601 COP Practical - Burnishing

Once the gold is completely covering the size after just a few minutes you can remove the excess gold using special burnishing wool this gently clings to the gold not attached by size and can be easily removed with a circular motion.

Unfortunately on my first attempt the gold had left odd cracks and lines, this meant I needed to do a second layer of gold to cover up and mis errors and patches, to do this you reapply this size as per and repeat the process until the glass is completely opaque.

This took merely an hour to do and was by far the quickest and fun part of the process.
