Getting the gold out

So we are now in 2024 its time to get back onsite updating honours boards in gold leaf and black enamel.

On this particular site the font used is one that was created by one of the previous signwriters himself, this means the process is different from normal, so we have to take tracings of the letters we require from previuos years, and then transfer the letters into the correct position and trace the letter outline onto the board, the board is then either written using a clear varnish which is left to 75% dry then the gold leaf is applied, or with the black lettering we paint the board with black signwriters enamel.
