The leaves in this booklet are worked for ten hours in five phases to transform them from a gold ingot form to leaves tenths of microns thick.

This leaf booklet contains 25 standard wight gold leaves measuring 80x80mm.

One book of gold will cover an area of 0.16m² without waste or overlap. (The amount of waste can be determined by the gilder’s own level of expertise and will depend on the complexity of the surface being gilded.) The higher the gold content of a leaf the more durable it will be. For outdoor work it is advisable to only gild using leaf that 23ct or higher to avoid tarnishing.

The gold leaves that are contained in the transfer booklet are held on tissue paper and are laid out in pages. This product is especially suited for gilding ceilings or outdoor surfaces.

Each book of gold leaf contains 25 leaves that measure 80mm x 80mm. 1 book of gold will cover an area of 0.16m² without waste or overlap. (The amount of waste can be determined by the gilder’s own level of expertise and will depend on the complexity of the surface being gilded.) The higher the gold content of a leaf the more resistant it will be to tarnishing. Gold Leaf of less than 22 carat should be protected from the atmosphere with a lacquer. Loose leaf gold will disintegrate if touched with a finger so is usually lifted using a gilder's tip (see our brushes section)

Traditional size for illumination. Made with natural gums. Yellow colour. For gilding or repairing, with gold leaf or bronze powder on frames, paper or glass.  Stir the water gold size gently with the end of a paintbrush. A vigorous shake will introduce air bubbles, which you should avoid. Paint over the area to be gilded with a brush. Allow to dry, which may take between 10 to 20 minutes. While it is still tacky apply the gold. If the gold size dries out too much, then its stickiness can be reactivated by breathing directly over the applied size.
