- Detailed instructions
This little bottle lasts longer than you think. But, I can hear you ask, how much does it cover? This depends on how thick you apply the gold, so to give you an idea;
- A layer 0.025 mm thick will cover 19.4 cm² (3 inches squared)
- A layer 0.05 mm (half a millimetre) thick will cover half that area, so 9.7cm² (1.5 inches squared)
TOP TIPS!
** It is essential that the AGS has been dried for several hours before firing or it will not adhere after firing.
** When thoroughly dried AGS does not adhere to a clean, freshly fired surface after firing, the problem is insufficient heating time and/or insufficient heating temperature. In this case, fire the layer longer and at a higher temperature.
** The manufacturer recommends you mix the AGS with purified water, like distilled or de-ionised water (water for steam irons or car batteries). In most cases you can use tap water. However, tap water can contain minerals which can affect the gold paste, so to be safe we have to recommend purified water.
