Gold Leaf Mirror Repair

Mix a small batch of plaster and just a little thin
in consistency. Use it as thick glue or mortar to set the piece on the
frame. Gently push the piece into place. The excess plaster will ooze out
around the edges. With a wet finger smooth around the seams and remove
excess. Don't try to fill all the seam joints at this stage. Concentrate
on getting a perfect fit. After the piece is set and dried it will be
easy to add a little extra plaster to fill any gaps. Do a little light
sanding with 240 around the seams to make them blend. Dust off with light
air pressure and seal the plaster with a coat or lacquer or
shellac. |
