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.

What surfaces can imitation gold leaf be applied to?
