Directions For Use:

Ensure your work surface is clean and free from dirt, dust and oil.
Use a soft bursh to apply a thin coat of silver leafing size (adhesive), to the area you want to be gilded.
Allow to set until tacky (usually 30 – 60 minutes).
Lift up a single sheet of leaf from the booklet and lay it across the sized surface.
Using a soft brush, gently smooth the leaf onto the work surface so that it adheres well.
Brush off any excess leaf.
For best results, seal the leaf surface with a leaf sealer or oil based varnish, as the leaf will tarnish if left unprotected.

FAQ’s

Yes, imitation gold leaf can generally be used in the same way as real gold leaf, such as for coating picture frames, furniture, and architectural details. The application process may be slightly different, but imitation leaf can produce a similar decorative effect.
What are the advantages of using imitation gold leaf over real gold leaf?
The main advantage of imitation gold leaf is that it is much less expensive than real gold leaf. Imitation leaf can still create a gold-like appearance at a fraction of the cost.
What surfaces can imitation gold leaf be applied to?
Imitation gold leaf can be applied to a variety of surfaces including walls, ceilings, furniture, metal, glass, paper, and stone.
How durable is imitation gold leaf compared to real gold leaf?
Imitation gold leaf is generally more durable and less fragile than real gold leaf. However, it can still tarnish over time and may need to be sealed or varnished to preserve the appearance.
