23kt Ribbon Gold Leaf Roll- 1/2" x 20m - Manetti Italian

23kt Ribbon Gold Leaf Roll – 1/2" (13mm) x 20m – Manetti Italian Authentic Italian 23 karat gold leaf in continuous ribbon format, designed for efficient gilding on flat surfaces. This 20-meter roll delivers approximately 22 square feet of coverage with individual leaves pre-spaced at 2mm intervals on lightweight paper backing. The paper-backed construction bonds loose gold leaves with a slight wax-sealed overlap, making it ideal for use with oil or water-based sizing. Unlike patent leaf, the backing prevents delicate gold from settling into fine details or recesses, giving you greater control on smooth applications. Each leaf measures 1.2" x 4 1/8" (30mm x 13mm), with a standard roll width of 104mm (4-1/8 inches). Store in cool, moderate humidity to maintain optimal performance—dry conditions may cause separation from the paper backing, while excessive heat and humidity can create unwanted adhesion.
