Worth knowing about leaf metal
leaf metal is also known as impact metal. The leaf metal foils and flakes in our range are made of copper and zinc and offer a great alternative to real gold leaf, which is used for traditional gilding.
With the help of gold leaf priming milk , leaf metal is drawn onto the surface of the object. The result is a great metallic look. Once the work is complete, any excess metal is simply brushed off. Incidentally, the excess leaf metal flakes are still suitable for processing. Our tip: work with a handicraft mat. This catches the excess flakes. Then simply store the flakes in a tin for the next leaf metal-idea.
