Pentart metal leaf 14 × 14 cm, 5 sheets, gold or silver colour

Gold- or silver-coloured accents for decorations

Pentart Metal Leaf consists of thin metal sheets for decorative gilding and other metallic surfaces. Use them for accents on a frame, decorative object or mixed-media project. Choose the gold or silver colour that suits your design.

What is in the booklet?

One pack contains five loose 14 × 14 cm sheets in your chosen colour. Together they provide 980 cm² of sheet area before cutting and overlap; actual coverage depends on your project. This is not a set of both colours. Adhesive, brushes and varnish are not included, even though the pack illustrates glue as a usage suggestion.

Prepare the surface and adhesive

Work on a clean, dry, properly prepared surface. Apply a thin, even layer of Pentart Metal Leaf Glue. Let it become completely transparent and tacky before laying the metal leaf. Follow the chosen adhesive’s drying guidance; one fixed waiting time does not suit every layer and surface.

Apply the delicate leaf

Work away from draughts and lay the leaf carefully onto the tacky layer. Use the interleaving paper to support the delicate sheet and smooth it gently with a suitable soft brush. Remove loose excess once the adhesive has dried sufficiently. Try the colour, adhesion and handling on a sample first.

Choose a compatible protective finish

Protect the result with a solvent-based varnish suitable for metal leaf or with Pentart Pouring Glaze. This specific gloss varnish is a suitable option within the system; do not assume every water-based varnish is an equivalent replacement. Check compatibility with the underlying paint as well and test the complete system.
