Gold foil leaf in progress
Keep in mind these are the first foiled plugs I have ever done.
Two of these have gold flake and the third has a gold/copper/red varegated leaf on it. I also have some varigated flake that I am going to try. The flaked ones have scale netting applied under the flake-tough to see in the picture.
Each of these has a coat of epoxy thinned about 50/50 with acetone (about the consistency of whole milk-maybe a little thincker but not much). This brushes on very easily and the working time w/ the acetone is MUCH longer the devcon 2T alone. Also I can get a thinner coat with it thinned. Mixes up very easily. (by the way I did this with several other plugs over the base layer of createx-no ill effects to the paint). It seems to cure pretty hard. With the epoxy coat I can scuff and then paint over the foil for highlights. If I screw it up, I can wipe it off and start over again.
