Question(s) Has anybody tried to use immitation gold leaf on low fire pottery (covered with a clear glaze) and got any good results. Applying the gold leaf with size first and then a clear coat of glaze over - then low firing.... I have a bunch of gold leaf from when I was a motorcycle painter and was just wondering if it it is worth a try. I also have a bunch of various color pearl powders that I could mix with glaze too. Has any clay buds tried either of these??? If so, comments on results please. Thank you, Sam in Daly City, CA
