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 leaf comes in a variety of karat values and shades. 24k gold is pure gold, and is yellowish in appearance. 12k is 50% gold, 22k gold leaf, which is commonly used for picture frames, is about 92% gold. The other metals mixed with the gold change the color or shade of the gold leaf.
