I was in town today and saw some gilt stuff in the craft section. One was a paste you rubbed in with your fingers or a sponge which dried pretty much instantly, the other was liquid leaf.
The below pictures are with the paste. I really like it, and may get a couple of more tubes in other shades of gold (they had 3 different shades) and gilt a few of my favourite decks. Not sure about the liquid as yet.... looks more delicate to use and has a lot of health warnings on the label.
The decks shown are my new arrivals: Pearls of Wisdom and Wisdom of Faery Oracle. Both have been trimmed before being edged. I have rubbed them quite hard once they were dry and it seems to be standing up to that so fingers crossed they won't need redoing any time soon
