I had been meaning to try the use of gesso as a background for eglomise (gold leaf on glass) after someone asked me about it, and I read about it in Frances Federer's new book. Someone asked me about replicating a panel from an old mirror, and although I turned down the job, I had already prepped the design, and so I used it for a demonstration at an artist guild meeting. After finishing, I finished the back with gesso, rather than white paint. So, now I have a sample to keep on hand, and monitor to see if there are any longer term issues.
