Liquid Leaf is a remarkable gilding paint that contains its own red primer and film of lustrous gold, premixed into a single liquid. This is the most effective finish you can use on carved and ornamental furniture, frames, mouldings, decorative ceilings, lamps, figurines and objects.

It flows easily onto the surface (with no brush marks), forming a beautiful, lustrous finish. It is so controllable that it can be used with striping brush or ruling pen for fine lines and scrolls.

Liquid Leaf can be used on wood, metal, glass, ceramics, papier-mache and cardboard. It can also be used as an ink. One colour of Liquid Leaf can be used over another once dry. For air brushing all colours can be thinned with the Brush Bath.

This easy-to-control one-step paint gives a brilliant sheen without brassiness, a permanent finish more closely resembling traditional leafing. A 35ml bottle will cover approximately 2sq/m.

It's fine to apply oil paint over sealed liquid leaf, turpentine will not reactivate the liquid leaf when sealed. Unsealed liquid leaf will reactivate if turps is worked into it. Liquid leaf resists tarnishing, the sealer is an extra protective layer.

Liquid Leaf comes in 8 different metallic shades.

Warning: Contains flammable chemicals or substances that can ignite.

The leaves in this booklet are worked for ten hours in five phases to transform them from a copper ingot form to leaves tenths of microns thick.

This leaf booklet contains 25 copper leaves measuring 80x80mm.

One book of copper will cover an area of 0.16m² without waste or overlap. (The amount of waste can be determined by the gilder’s own level of expertise and will depend on the complexity of the surface being gilded.) The higher the copper content of a leaf the more durable it will be. For outdoor work it is advisable to only gild using leaf that 23ct or higher to avoid tarnishing.

The copper leaves that are contained in the transfer booklet are held on tissue paper and are laid out in pages. This product is especially suited for gilding ceilings or outdoor surfaces.

Traditional size for illumination. Made with natural gums. Yellow colour. For gilding or repairing, with gold leaf or bronze powder on frames, paper or glass.  Stir the water gold size gently with the end of a paintbrush. A vigorous shake will introduce air bubbles, which you should avoid. Paint over the area to be gilded with a brush. Allow to dry, which may take between 10 to 20 minutes. While it is still tacky apply the gold. If the gold size dries out too much, then its stickiness can be reactivated by breathing directly over the applied size.
