Method Using Mask To Apply Gold Leaf To A Boat by Sonny Franks |
I have a method
using mask that is simple and easy and for the most part, shouldn't be
affected by motion. Here's a quickie step-by-step
Cut your stencil in Gerber mask or equivalent with the outline, but only weed the letter out. Apply the stencil normally and paint your size on: Every few letters, go back and weed out the outline so it doesn't dry with an edge: Lay your gold: Outline your letter - the stencil defines your outside edge, so you really only have to watch the inside lines: Peel your stencil: Voila: The transom was done with the same method: I would recommend clearing your gold after 24 hours. I used marine spar varnish for this project, but there is probably a better equivalent for fiberglass.. |
