SignGold now introduces… “Gilder’s Gold” a 23.5 Karat “Yellow” gold vinyl that closely resembles the much more expensive “hand-laid” 23 karat gold leaf vinyl products.
 “Gilder’s Gold” is warranteed in writing for 12 years… no competitive product comes close! It quickly prints and cuts on Gerber and Summa (DC-4sx) thermal printers for easy application to truck doors.This “Gilder’s Gold” Maltese Cross panel was printed on the Gerber Edge. It is estimated that the cost of “Gilder’s Gold” material to produce two 12” Maltese Crosses with lines of copy above and below the Crosses costs less than $200 for the pair of doors.
Please compare material and labor costs... “Gilder’s Gold” Vs. “hand-laid” gold leaf vinyls. "Gilder’s Gold" will save time and money which translates into more profit.

*23.5k SignGold Vinyl Film
Glass Application
1. In sign design software, do layout in reverse.
2. Cut black outline and shade in reverse. The 23.5k
SignGold looks best if surrounded with black or dark color.
3. Cut 23.5k SignGold vinyl film in reverse and cut it so it fits halfway into the black outline. Make sure the cut doesn’t go over the outside of the black outline. You are essentially covering the open space within the outline with the SignGold 23.5k vinyl film.
4. Apply the black outline and shade FIRST on the glass.
5. Next, register the 23.5k SignGold so it overlaps the black and fills in the open areas of the letters or design.
6. If lettering is under 4 inches high, you can use your thumb as a squeegee to press the gold into the areas. **Larger letters, you can use a soft squeegee but be careful as you can cause scratches which might be seen in the SignGold 23.5k vinyl film from outside and ruin the job.
7. Application fluid is not recommended as it can be trapped within the outline and SignGold and cause problems. The preferred procedure is the hinge method/dry application.
8. If backup black is preferred on the reverse-side of the SignGold 23.5 vinyl film, simply reverse-cut a good quality high performance black and apply over the gold. This would then look like the traditional neon black back-up paint used by gilders doing glass work over the years.
*SignGold 23.5k vinyl film is versatile. A double-sided film for use as a first surface orreverse-cut product.
**The THUMB METHOD is preferred as the best application procedure.
