Giusto Manetti Battiloro Gold Leaf Books Folha de ouro 80 x 80 mm 16 g Pure Gold 24 kt Transfer 5 Leaves

Gold Leaf. Transfer Gold Leaf represents a practical and efficient form of pure 24-karat gold designed for professional restoration, craft, and decorative gilding. Each leaf measuring 80 × 80 mm is lightly attached to a tissue paper backing that extends beyond the booklet edge. This preparation method significantly facilitates handling, enabling faster, more precise, and controlled application, especially on smooth and uniform surfaces.

The thickness and strength of the gold leaf are defined by a standardized weight of 16 grams per 1,000 leaves, representing a versatile medium thickness that combines good flexibility with sufficient durability during application. Transfer gold is particularly suitable for gilding smooth substrates such as wood, metal, glass, architectural details, lettering, and decorative elements intended for both interior and exterior use.

This format is designed exclusively for the oil gilding technique. The backing tissue paper enables precise placement of the leaf onto the surface while minimizing the risk of tearing. Simply place the leaf onto the prepared sticky surface, gently smooth it down, and easily peel off the backing paper. This technique simplifies application even in less controlled environments, such as outdoor projects.

Thanks to the purity and fineness of 24-karat gold, the leaves create a uniform coverage effect and a smooth, consistent finish typical of professional gilding. The product is ideal for restorers, decorative craftspeople, and creators who require efficient application and reliable results on smooth or larger surfaces.
