Manetti 23.50kt Patent Gold Leaf

Italian-made patent gold leaf book with 25 leaves, each 3 3/8" square. Approximately 1.7 sq ft coverage. Patent leaf is mounted on tissue paper for easy, tipless application—ideal for outdoor work and flat surfaces where loose leaf is impractical.

What is Patent Gold? Transfer leaf mounted to tissue via pressure process. Remove one leaf at a time without disturbing others. Leaf stays on tissue until pressed onto your surface, then backing is removed.

Storage: Keep in 80% humidity, wrapped in plastic, to maintain tissue moisture. Avoid dry or overly hot environments, which can loosen the leaf. If needed, store under pressure in humid conditions to remount, or refrigerate if leaf adheres too tightly.

Best For: Outdoor gilding and flat surfaces. Not suitable for water gilding.
