鎏金起泡、脱壳主因是铜胎除油不净、有氧化层或驱汞受热不均致金层与基体间残汞/气体。处理:铲除起泡层,重新打磨至金属光泽、除油活化,均匀低温慢驱汞。贴金起泡则多为金胶未干透或基面有尘/油,须清掉重贴。

Gilding blisters and shells mainly from poorly cleaned copper—residual oil, scale, or uneven heating that traps mercury/gas between gold and base. Remove the blistered layer, re-abrade to bright metal, degrease and activate, then drive mercury slowly and evenly at low heat. Leaf blisters mean size wasn't set or the base was dusty/oily—strip and re-lay. ---
