Odorless mineral spirits/gamsol work too. I’m wondering about needing an acrylic sealer to prevent rubbing off on metal - I have Deisgn Master Clear Finish (matte). (I have a lot of the colors used on top of Gilding Polish on embossed card stock. Beautiful.
Thanks for the ideas, Beth. Of course, I mostly I make jewelry, cards don't have the same issue with the finishes rubbing off. What are your thoughts on using on objects that get a lot of wear?
Thank you for letting us see inside all of your tins and for the great tips! Would be great to see a demo on something substantial like a picture frame. Curious how far one of those tiny tins goes.
Thanks for the comment, Kitty. Hope you found the video helpful. I think I saw somewhere on the manufacturer's website how much one tin would cover. You can probably find that info with an online search. Happy creating!
Thank you for letting me know the video was helpful! 🙂 These are more colored waxes, and would cover up the color of your gold leaf. I’m thinking something like a Renaissance wax amzn.to/2NIGqIX would be more appropriate, but I’m not certain, you should consult folks who know more about gold leaf.
How durable is this paste on stainless steel metal engraving? If I used it in the background of the engraving would it not rub off if the person carried the item daily in their pocket? Thank you!
Is the Gilders paste just used for changing the entire piece or parts of jewelry, or do you know if it can be used for color filling engravings? Thanks for the info.
@@SandyHuntress Well, I engrave... mostly coins right now, with scroll work designs. Then just use black rustoleum, and rub it in the cuts, wiping it off the rest. Just wondering if this would work instead. I guess I am trying to figure out what the difference between this and enamel is. Looks like it sets in the groves better. Thanks.
if i wanted to use black on a ring to bring out the engraving then i would let it dry 12 hours and then rub off the excess so the engraving would have the black and not the entire ring ? should i dilute some of the paste with mineral spirits so it can get into the small parts of the engraving and then wait 12 hours to wipe or lightly sand off the excess.
Hi, Thanks for the video. So is this stuff more durable than say rub n buff. How would i apply it to debossed leather? Meaning if i get some product outside the debossing. So can it be sealed for duraility?
Hi Michael, I have never used Rub n Buff so I can’t say. As for your other questions, I would suggest you go to the Gilders Paste website, they have lots of information.
I love this wax!!! I didn't see on here where I can get it at the top of the screen though. Could you tell me again please? Thank you for sharing your knowledge of them Sandy. :)
If you click on the little "i" in the upper right of the video there will be a list of links you can go to. One of them leads to my blog post which has product links.
Hi Serene, I'm sorry but I don't really know anything about those colorants. You should experiment, though! Let us know how it turns out, if you do. :-)
What does Gilders Paste smell like? I bought a tube of Art Alchemy's metallic paste - looked fantastic, but it has a nauseating sweet smell that gave me a headache -- and I'm not especially sensitive to smells. Huge disappointment even though Amazon refunded my money.

Hey this video was very informative !!
I was wondering if I can use these wax to seal gold leaf?

Thank you so so much for talking about the colours and including the chart, that was very helpful, thank you!! Great video.
I'm glad you found it helpful, Leanne!

I haven’t used it in that way. You should check the manufacturer’s website for that kind of detailed information.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. If you want to fill in areas like in cloisonné then it’s not going to be as durable as enamel.

@@coreymillia As usual, the best thing to do is some testing and experimenting. 🙂

Sounds about right, James! I'd recommend making a few pieces and testing how your different ideas work.

Useful tips! Thanks! Will share on my blog so others can come learn!
Thanks for sharing! Hope you found it helpful.
Why does some of the bling come off when I buff? Do you have to repeat? I'm trying to refinish the frames of paintings and mirrors - wood and metal
It depends on the material you are applying to.
I would suggest going to the manufacturer’s website. They have a lot of information there.
Thanks for the tip on waiting 12 hours to dry. I've been frustrated that I would just rub the color off right away.
I'm so glad that this helped you, Candice! Happy creating :-)
Does the color wash off?
Can you use this through a stencil?
Yes, you can!

Hi Sandy.. I wanna ask can I use glass/ ceramic colors to paint the charms??
Hi Serene, I'm sorry but I don't really know anything about those colorants. You should experiment, though! Let us know how it turns out, if you do. :-)
Ok dear I will experiment it and I will let u know..
Thank you..
is it good on etched glass
Sorry, I have no idea. You'll have to experiment.

Sorry I can't help you, Diana, as I can't smell. Maybe someone else will chime in with an answer to your question.
@@SandyHuntress Thanks! I guess in some cases not having a sense of smell is lucky...
It looks like needs water...
Carla Feeoryne You wouldn't use water to rehydrate Gilder's pastes. Mineral spirits is the way to go.
