I am interested in making custom watch and applying gold leaf, But I have no idea how durable it is???
In: Chemistry
Pure gold is highly resistant to corrosion but very soft and vulnerable to scratches and wear. Mechanically, gold leaf is very fragile.
However, if you look at gold damascene inlaid firearms, for example – these are not items intended for hard use in the field, but if done properly they are effectively timeless.
