I was in a hobby store yesterday and just happened to walk by some gold leaf. I wondered whether anyone has ever tried using it in a channel inlay. I mean packing it in a channel, then using thin CA with capillary action to fill in around it, then "melt" it when turning like with any embossing material. If it will work it seems like that woulld look really cool - especially for a nice wide ring effect. Then even some of the Variegated composition stuff adds extra color, etc. I also wonder how the real edible leaf works vs. the fake stuff or if there is any difference. Anyone work with this stuff - other than the guys who made a blanks out of it from sticking it to a brass tube and resin molding it?
