Water Gilding. Water gilding is used to achieve a mirror finish on glass, also called a bright finish. Only loose leaf is used, not transfer leaf. It shares some similarities with water gilding on bole (clay) used for picture frames and antique furniture.The area to be gilded is wetted fully with the water size made from gelatine dissolved in hot water. The leaf is picked up with a gilders tip and placed onto the wet glass.As soon as part of the leaf touches the size, the whole leaf is sucked onto the glass.ometimes you can blow it up the glass and back into place. The gild is initially satin in appearance but becomes bright as it dries. It can then be lightly rubbed with cotton wool to smooth it down and any holes and damaged areas are patched with a second gild. It is also given a second wash over with size.
