Mellifluous
Well, I did a fun little project today. I gilded the edges of my decks.
Thought I'd mention it in case anyone else here wants to do it. I know some people really like that effect and most decks don't have it.
I bought some metallic surfacer (brand name: Sophisticated Finishes) from an art supply store. It comes in different colors as well as gold, silver and bronze. It's not expensive either.
You brush it on with a sponge-tipped brush and let it dry (which doesn't even take long).
Easy peasy.
Note: I did keep the windows open (fume protection) and wore disposable gloves. It also says on the bottle to protect your eyes. I wore glasses though it didn't spatter or anything anyway. Better safe than sorry though.
Enjoy!
