12kt Ribbon Gold Leaf - Master Roll - 4 1/8" x 20m - Manetti Italian

The 12kt Manetti Italian Ribbon Gold Leaf Master Roll measures 4 1/8" x 20 meters, featuring individual 4 1/8" square (104mm x 104mm) leaves arranged continuously on lightweight paper with slight overlaps. This ribbon leaf differs from patent leaf as it is wax-adhered rather than pressed onto tissue, making it ideal for application on flat surfaces with oil or synthetic sizing. The paper backing prevents the gold from entering detailed crevices. Standard rolls are about 67 feet long, offering approximately 22 square feet of coverage. Proper storage is essential to maintain quality, as temperature and humidity changes can cause the leaf to loosen or stick excessively to the paper.
