Does anyone have sucessful experience with using gold leaf in fusing. I know that people use it sucessfully in lampwork. My experience is it burns out. Anyone have any other experience with it. have just tried gold leaf as well. I find that you have need 3 or 4 layers of leaf, a lot more than I started out with, before it really shows up or doesn't burn away. I have been covering it with clear glass. With gold & copper leaf more is the answer!
Gold is a heavy metal (density 19.3 g cm -3) and one gram of gold can be hammered out into a thin sheet of gold a metre in area, and just 230 atoms or so thick. Gold leaf is translucent and the transmitted light is greenish blue (gold metal reflects yellow and red, leaving the greenish blue colour.
