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

Manetti Brand Italian 12 kt. white gold leaf in convenient ribbon form. This 20-meter master roll features individual leaves measuring 1½" × 4⅛" (104mm × 104mm), ideal for gilding flat surfaces with oil or synthetic sizing. Ribbon leaf differs from patent leaf—each square is adhered to continuous lightweight paper with wax rather than pressed onto tissue. The paper backing makes it perfect for smooth applications but limits use in ornate crevices. The standard 67-foot roll places leaves with precise 2mm overlaps for seamless coverage. Store in moderate conditions to maintain optimal leaf adhesion. Dry, warm environments may loosen the leaf, while hot, humid storage can cause it to stick too tightly to the paper. Proper climate control ensures consistent workability and professional results.
