Imitation gold leaf 2,5 imitation in roll Giusto Manetti 15cmx50m

• Imitation gold leaf.
• Gilding in iconography is a complex and highly specialised technique that requires precision and artistry.
• The free imitation leaf can be used for gilding both flat and carved surfaces.
• Suitable for use with water and oil gilding techniques. Recommended for restoration work and on previously worked surfaces, such as sculptures. Also suitable for other crafts and artistic works.
• Not recommended for exteriors.
• Thicker and more durable than gold leaf, it is easy to handle and apply, making it suitable for both experts and beginners.
• Made of high quality copper and zinc alloy.
• Can be applied with a brush or directly by hand.
• Protected with tissue paper sheet, which makes it easier to handle and can be used on flat surfaces more quickly.
• Presented in rolls, the sheets are applied continuously on tissue paper, making rolls.
• Ideal for application on large flat surfaces with the mordanting technique. Depending on the requirements in the gilding phase, the roll can be cut lengthwise with scissors, being careful to do so with the overlap between two sheets.
• Size: 15 cm x 50 m.
• Colour: gold 2.5.
• NOTE: They present a high risk of oxidation despite being well packed.
