This gilding kit has been put together specifically to include all the items required to complete the 'Mirror project' on page 35 of Gold Leaf, Paint & Glass by Frances Federer.
The items in the kit will enable you to complete many other glass gilding projects as all the core products such as the gilders cushion, knife, tip etc. can be used for many years to come. We know some gilders who still use the same gilders cushion after thirty years. You can replenish all the other consumable items in the kit and also add to it to follow some of Frances' Further Processes. All items can be purchased individually within the other sections of Glass Gilding.
