| 2. | Reeled Gold Leaf |
Similar to transfer gold, individual gold leaves are placed with a slight overlap on a continuous length of special paper and then reeled. However, unlike patent leaf which is pressed onto tissue paper, reeled gold leaf adheres to the paper by the reeling process.
Reeled gold leaf is intended for use on flat surfaces with oil or synthetic size. The backing paper stops the gold leaf from entering into ornate crevices or recesses. Reeled gold leaf can be applied by hand or with a gilding wheel (Order No. 100285).
Reeled gold leaf must be properly stored and should be wrapped in plastic to retain the moisture in the paper.
The reel length is about 21 m. The reels are available in widths of between 5 and 95 mm. The price is calculated per mm width.
