Mainolfi by Montejano ( Minotaur y Thesus

Hello
In an earlier photo of this post, it is seen as gold leaf (gold leaf law- 22 kt). the mordant mixtion delicately in areas where gold should adhere applies. After carries a protective layer resistant varnish (there are various types of paints), although normally the "shellac" is used.
The final effect is a glossy shine and looks good the final effect.

Hola
En una foto anterior de este post, se aprecia como se trata de lámina de oro ( pan de oro de ley- 22 kt) . Se aplica el mordiente mixtion con delicadeza en las zonas donde debe adherirse el oro . Después lleva una capa de protección con barniz resistente ( hay varios tipos de barnices ) , aunque normalmente se utiliza la "goma laca " .
El efecto final es un brillo satinado y queda muy bien el efecto final.

In other words you etch the metal

The etched surface holds onto the gold leaf

Schellac makes is shinier and more secure.

Thank you

I do not use shellac. But the application of gold foil with mixtion is correct.
