In Reply to: When if ever is a stencil appropriate or can be used when leafing on glass posted by Robert Beverly on August 04, 19102 at 22:17:39:

Robert,
I have used masking for painting glass for gilding. One thing that helped was to remove the area where the gilding would be as soon as possible after painting the glass. Removing the mask allows the paint to flow out away from the edge preventing most of the hard edge. I have left the rest of the mask on as to avoid any overlap of the gold that would traditionally need to be cleaned off & then I paint the back up on. I also cut an extra outline in the mask & remove it after backing up but before clearing over to aid in consistant & quick clear coat.
Jeff
