What is Patent Gold Leaf?

Patent (transfer) gold leaf is pre-mounted to tissue paper, allowing you to remove one leaf at a time without a gilder's tip. The leaf stays on the tissue backing until pressed onto your prepared surface, making it ideal for outdoor work and challenging conditions where loose leaf is impractical. Best suited for flat surfaces; not recommended for water gilding.

Storage & Care

Patent leaf is humidity-sensitive. Store in a sealed plastic wrap at approximately 80% humidity to maintain tissue moisture. In dry conditions, leaf may loosen — remount by storing under pressure in a humid environment. If over-adhered from heat and humidity, store in a cool, dry place or refrigerator to release.
