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!
Melt the gold. Place the scrap gold in the carved charcoal, ceramic container or crucible. Dust the gold with a pinch of boric acid. Wearing gloves and safety goggles, turn on the torch until you have a large flame.
