How can I add gold leaf to glass and be able to use glass cleaner on it without it rubbing off?!?
I do stained glass and would like to incorporate gold leaf into my windows. Thanks.
You can purchase the following products at any fine art store.
I have given some suppiers links below.
This is the Imitation gold leaf that works without coming off on glass; http://www.dickblick.com/zz270/12/
There is a specific product for sealing gold leaf. It is called
Gold Leaf Sealer, I have used the one from the MONA LISA brand with good results, it is a clear matt protective overcoat for gold leaf. http://www.hyatts.com/art/gold-leaf-2oz-sealer-X70727

You can try some of these products in combination or to experiment wiith your stain glass work especially the
RANGER Memory Glass,PALMER Glass Stain, DIAMOND TECH Studio Line Stained Glass Foil,DELTA PermEnamel Glitter Glaze, DELTA PermEnamel Glaze- satin glaze,
DELTA PermEnamel Accent Liners (You could use in between your stained glass and your gold leaf), or DECOART Glass-tiques.;

Roll Gold can be used in small quantities and for borders, not the best for your use perhaps;

The absolute best products in my opinion are these two products; MONARCH 23-Karat Gold Leaf combined with ROLCO Rabbit Skin Glue.http://www.misterart.com/store/browse/003/cat_id/51/Craft-Supplies-Gold-Leaf.htm
