Applications
Gilding with gold leaf in powder form or on a gold shell (gold leaf sheet) is a technique practiced by professional craftsmen and artists, as well as by amateurs in hobby applications. Both techniques are suitable for small details and corrections. The gold in this form is ideal for correcting already gilded surfaces, especially on carved wooden furniture, frames, antiques, as well as in painting and iconography.
For applying gold leaf on a gold shell, use a fine, slightly damp brush. Use the amount you need by dipping the brush onto the sheet and apply it directly onto the surface.
