23.50kt Gold Leaf Packs - Dukaten Patent Transfer Leaf

Premium Italian Manetti brand patent gold leaf featuring 500 leaves across 20 books. Each leaf measures 3 3/8" x 3 3/8", providing approximately 39 square feet of coverage. At 18 grams per 1000 leaves, this double gold formulation offers enhanced weight and durability compared to standard leaf.

Patent Transfer Technology
Unlike loose leaf, patent gold arrives mounted on tissue paper for hassle-free application. Remove leaves individually without a gilder's tip—the tissue backing keeps each leaf secure until pressed onto your prepared surface. This design makes it ideal for outdoor projects and challenging conditions where loose leaf would be impractical.

Best For
Flat surface gilding and exterior work. Not recommended for water gilding applications.

Storage Care
Maintain 80% humidity in a sealed plastic wrap environment to preserve the tissue paper's moisture balance. Avoid temperature fluctuations that can cause the leaf to loosen or adhere too tightly to the backing.
