Hi Marcus, it is a gelatine capsule with a pint of warm distilled water. The water must be distilled in order to be cleaned and when you are heating it be sure to use a super clean container and warm it in a microwave. Have a look at my other video entitled 'Gold leaf Gilding Demo' and you will get more details there. Thanks
Hi Robert, you remove the excess with cotton wool by skewing it off or gently rubbing it, the leaf should pull itself taut and end up smooth rather than you having to do anything to do it, that is provided you have the mordant on correctly! I have another video here which covers some of those points - ua-cam.com/video/h-63F00iErQ/v-deo.html
I'll drop in some day bro what you showed me has got me a lot of work.Plus it will be nice to see you have some graining pics too show you.Hope your well.

Great Videos,how do you remove the excess leaf ? And do you have to smooth it in order to get such a nice finish? Thanks

Hy Eric! What did you apply on the glass to hold the gold leaf ? Thanks !
why not apply your vinyl directly to the glass as the first step?
This is the method I was demonstrating to a group of apprentices.
Great teacher some of his jokes are a bit suspect though.lol
Yeah Paddy and I had some suspect apprentices!!! DM me with your contact details.
