How to Apply Composition Gold Leaf
Applying gold leaf is a straightforward process that requires a bit of patience and a delicate touch. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Prepare the Surface: Make sure the surface you want to gild is clean, dry, and smooth. For best results, apply a base coat of paint or primer to seal porous surfaces.
- Apply Adhesive: Use a gilding adhesive (also known as size) and apply a thin, even layer to the area you want to cover with gold leaf. Wait until the adhesive becomes tacky (usually 10-20 minutes).
- Apply the Gold Leaf: Carefully place a sheet of gold leaf onto the adhesive, using a soft brush to smooth it out and press it into place. Work slowly and gently to avoid tearing the delicate sheets.
- Remove Excess Leaf: Once the leaf is in place, use a soft brush to gently remove any excess or overlapping pieces. This will leave a clean, smooth gilded finish.
- Seal the Surface: To protect the gold leaf and prevent tarnishing, apply a clear sealer or varnish over the gilded area. This step is especially important for outdoor or frequently handled items.
