Loose Gold & Silver Leaf:
The leaves are placed in paper booklets, loosely inlaid in 25
compartments, one for each leaf. To cut the leaf, one may take it from the
booklet with the gilding knife and place it on the gilding cushion or drop
it directly from the booklet onto the gilding cushion. Then, pick up the
leaf with the gilder's tip and place it onto the prepared surface.
Transfer (Patent) Gold Leaf:
The individual gold leaves are pressed onto a tissue paper. One uses
patent gold, also called tempest gold, when gilding outdoors. The tissue
paper is larger than the gold leaf, thus it may be more easily handled. It
is also possible to cut the patent leaves into desired shapes/forms with
scissors. The leaves are placed onto the prepared surface and carefully
rubbed with cotton wool. The tissue paper may then be removed as the gold
leaf will adhere to the surface/object. For exterior gilding, we recommend
23.75K up to 24K gold leaf.
