Applying Gold Glaze With Straight Lines


gabriel

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am attempting to decorate cremation burial urns with gold trim, but cannot seem to find a way to create clean, straight edges that don't have rough spots.  I have tried using auto detailing (pin striping) tape, but still tend to get somewhat ragged line edges.

 

Can anyone suggest methods of application, and/or direct me to a source of instruction for applying gold?

 

Thanks,

Gabriel

When you say gold glaze, I'm assuming you're using a lustre? If that's the case, the quality of surface won't change much, so you're going to have to have a good surface to begin with. If the material is so thin that your tape isn't resisting properly, add a tiny bit of binder or let some water evaporate. It's a little unclear as to what you're using and what you're trying to do..

Thank you for your responses, Colby and Mark.

 

I am using the Duncan (I believe that's the brand) 7% bright gold luster.  I'm just trying to get a perfectly smooth, thin line, and at $30 for a thimble-full, it's a little pricey to experiment with.
