FAQs
Can I use these sheets for food decoration?
No, these are decorative gilding sheets and are not food-grade. Do not use them on edible items.
Do I need special tools to apply these?
While not strictly required, a soft gilder's brush is highly recommended to smooth the sheets without tearing them.
Can I use these on plastic surfaces?
Yes, but you must ensure the plastic surface is properly primed or prepped with a suitable adhesive size to ensure the foil sticks.
Are these sheets real gold?
These sheets are designed for decorative gilding and typically consist of metallic alloys to provide a gold-like appearance.
How do I remove excess foil?
Once the adhesive has fully set, use a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff away the excess overlapping foil.
Troubleshooting
Foil is not sticking to the surface
Ensure the adhesive size was applied evenly and allowed to reach the proper 'tack' level before application.
Visible cracks or tearing during application
The sheets are extremely thin; handle with soft, dry brushes instead of fingers, and avoid working in areas with high drafts or wind.
Dull or tarnished finish after some time
Gold foil, depending on the alloy, may oxidize; always apply a professional-grade sealer or lacquer after the gilding is complete.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is key to a successful gilding project. Ensure your surface is dust-free and smooth; any imperfections underneath will show through the thin foil. Use a water-based or oil-based gilding size depending on your preference for drying time and durability. When handling the sheets, it is recommended to use tweezers or soft brushes, as oils from your fingers can tarnish or damage the foil. Once your project is complete, apply a clear protective sealant or varnish specifically designed for metal leaf to prevent oxidation, scratching, and dulling over time.
