Took my sweet time getting to this stage but it's done!
I ended up taking off the original gold and buying more from Jackson's. I don't remember where I got the original stuff from, but (without wanting to sound like I'm blaming my tools) it was definitely what held me back. It was thick and had a weird texture to it that meant it it never lay perfectly flat against the glass. The stuff from Jackson's is noticeably much thinner but went on much better.
Don't get me wrong, there's definitely room for improvement - not least on the reverse as the 1 shot is pretty lumpy as I didn't realise it's meant to be thinned before brushing! But for a first attempt I'm pretty happy. Definitely keen to have a crack at something else.
