Nope, you need genuine silver leaf. I'm pretty sure it's fine silver (.999).

No. Needs to be fine silver leaf - 99% silver. I recommend using Voltarra brand Silver Leaf for this tutorial. It has the best results.

Becky, yes it was a little different but it was likely the brand of silver causing the problem in the end. I've always used Asian silver leaf, Italian for some reason doesn't work as well - just a bit thicker. Japanese has shown to work as well.

So VOLTARA brand leaf or the little Japanese squares work best

Amber

I've have been buying from glass diversions . Can you suggest a supplier for the Voltarra silver leaf.? I only found with Pacific Gold leaf.

Thanks again. Becky

Becky, yes, you get it through Pacific on their website - have seen in Amazon, too. The Japanese silver squares are on eBay.

Do you use the loose version or the transfer version of silver leaf from Voltarra?

Does the blue go directly over the Silvered ivory stringer? Thank you.

Would silver foil work as that is what I generally keep I stock to work with?

No foil won't work. That has been asked somewhere in this big thread, she does suggest japanese leaf instead of italian, as well. It just won't spread well. Have fun
