Does anyone have sucessful experience with using gold leaf in fusing. I know that people use it sucessfully in lampwork. My experience is it burns out. Anyone have any other experience with it.

I had success with it in Roger Thomas's class years ago.

I remember that it took several layers of leaf to be visible and it had to be sandwiched between sheets of glass.

I used it last year for a project.  I does have to be fused between two pieces of glass and not on the top.  I fused the two pieces as you normally would, but not above 1450 degrees in a Paragon Caldera.  I have not tried it with my glass kiln.

Good luck.
