Genuine Gold Loose Leaf Sheets 24k

Excelente producto

Great price for a great product. This stuff is the real deal. This year alone I've applied about 30 packs of this gold leaf, in the Missouri Governor's Mansion and a catholic church in Kansas City. The 23.5 karat was a little cheaper and worked great for the church, but didn't match what was at the governor's mansion, so I had to go with the full 24K and that worked perfectly, matching the historic existing gold leaf very well. I used the loose leaf at the church, but it's like gossamer, so any breath will send it waving and when you try to control it you end up crumpling and tearing it, so unless you need it loose, the transfer paper is better because it's stuck to the paper until you push it against the sizing on your wall/ceiling. The transfer is also better if you're doing a fine design, because only the design will tear away and you can reuse other parts of the leaf on the same paper, whereas the loose stuff can tear when you pull it away and therefore be hard to reapply elsewhere. User's tip: In the middle picture, I painted my base designs with latex paint before applying my oil-based sizing and ultimately the gold leaf. This would normally be fine except that it all happened in a two day time period, so the latex paint hadn't fully cured (even though it felt dry) and consequently the gold leaf stuck everywhere I pushed on it, not just on the sized spots. To fix this i used a fine point eraser-pen to "erase" the excess leaf and then go over it again with a bit of the latex base color.

This is exceptional gold leaf, it’s amazing the difference it makes in appearance and oxidation when you use real gold leaf. The color is perfect, not yellow or brassy, and not orange or copper. I just let it oxidize for a week until it turns slightly, then seal it when it’s the exact color I want.

The transfer works to the right adhesion and density, warm colour

This is black onyx I carved a 1 into and then applied the gold leaf to. Very easy to do if you understand how fragile gold leaf is. I used a fine brush to lift the gold leaf from the backing, if you tried to pick it up with your finger it would attach to your skin. I used a glue to attach the gold to the onyx. The glue and clar coat can be bought on Amazon. It took 1 day to get the order.

I've been buying this 23K leaf a lot lately because of the price, and for the most part I like it. The only downside is, it is extremely porous. I am not able to achieve a high burnished finish, it remains quite dull. Thankfully, most clients are ok with the dull. The nonporous leaf is about $90+ for a book of 25 sheets, for those of you looking for that. And for those of you complaining about it being difficult.... welcome to gilding!!!!!

Works great and looks even better. I had zero idea what I was doing, but the leaf performed as well as could be expected. I need to learn more about polishing the gold, but I'll be using this brand again for my next attempt at iconography. Lol, if anyone wants to give me tips, look for a video of me making this St Patrick icon on YouTube and leave your critique there. I hope this helps.

I absolutely Love this product. I’ve used it for several projects. Thanks for nothing but great quality!

Para transferir. Menos desperdicio que hojas sueltas. Buena calidad, marca reconocida. Oro real.

Following an initial mix-up when Amazon sent me the wrong product, I reached out to Barnabas Blattgold directly. They could not have been more helpful and dispatched a replacement order to me directly. The product (genuine gold leaf) is exactly as advertised and excellent quality. I will certainly source my future requirements from Barnabas Blattgold.

Fake item sent . Not original Barbara’s product. Not transfer backed leaf. Total waste of money. Cheating customers

My Husband used the gold leaf on his maple leaf/ feather carving. He was impressed how easily it covered part of his project.

Very satisfied with the quality of this gold leaf. Used it on a project recently and it looks great.
