    I DO LIKE shellac, but in certain circumstances "gold on metal" has
    more of a none absorbing foundation. Gold being hammered in a wooden
    clamp is not so great. Why? the shock of hammering is absorbed in and
    to the leather and again to the wood. BUT gold on metal as on a ring
    mandrel has a better sustaining impact effect. Then again, also your
    hand is holding the clamp and ANOTHER reduction of the direct
    hammering. 

    Greater loss of "impact" generated by the hammer. Example=> you
    might say 30 units of impact/power to metal, a reduction to a loss of
    10-15 units of power to the leather & wood combination. Each
    application has its very own use. There is no law as to what is
    correct...you should decide only then by your newly found
    experience....Gerry!
