Full explanation of why things can and can’t be water gilded. By the end of the video you should be able to look at anything and know if you can water gild it.
I forgot to say in the video, Verre églomisé (gilding on glass) is a type of water gilding but uses a different gilding water recipe. Gelatin not rabbit skin glue. The gold will rub off the glass easily, so it need to be sealed with paint to be permanent.
