I have a project that will need copper leaf. I have done gold leaf in the past. What difference should I expect? I will seal it after application and it is for indoor use.
Randall,
There's several differences. You will notice the copper is about four times as thick an should be laid down on a more agressive size.
I would suggest you paint a copper base on which to apply the leaf. It should go down easily. It quickly tarnishes, so you'll need a couple of good coats of clear lacquer.

Joe,
Thanks for the pointers. The copper leaf worked well for this project. Still need to apply a few more coats of lacquer.
