Use gilding size for most gold leaf work; the exact size depends on surface, exposure, and technique.

Oil size is common for architectural, sign, furniture, and general decorative gilding. Water gilding uses a different traditional gesso and bole system and is chosen when a burnishable finish is required.

Do not substitute ordinary craft glue without understanding tack, compatibility, and finish. The size must bond to the prepared surface and hold the leaf at the correct tack window without drowning, wrinkling, or releasing the leaf.

The right sealer for gold leaf depends on karat, exposure, handling, and whether the leaf is genuine or imitation.

High-karat genuine gold often does not need the same tarnish protection as silver or imitation metal leaf, but a handled or exposed surface may still need protection. Lower-karat alloys, silver, copper, composition leaf, Dutch gold, and metal leaf are more likely to discolor or tarnish.

Choose sealer only after identifying the material and environment. A wall, frame, exterior sign, furniture piece, and craft object have different abrasion, moisture, and appearance requirements.

Gold leaf needs sealer only when the material or use requires protection.

Genuine high-karat gold is naturally resistant to tarnish, so sealing can be unnecessary or even undesirable on some traditional work. Imitation gold leaf, lower-karat alloys, handled objects, outdoor exposure, and surfaces likely to be cleaned or touched often need a more careful protection decision.

Sealer changes the surface. It can reduce brilliance, alter color, add gloss or haze, or trap fingerprints if applied over contaminated leaf. Decide after confirming the leaf type, surface, exposure, and finish goal.

Gilding size is the adhesive layer that holds leaf to a prepared surface.

Size is applied thinly and allowed to reach tack before leaf is laid. The correct tack window is critical: too wet can swallow or smear the leaf, while too dry can cause poor adhesion, holidays, or lifting.

Different sizes are used for different systems, surfaces, and working times. Oil gilding, water gilding, glass work, exterior signs, furniture, and craft leaf do not all use the same adhesive strategy.

Metal leaf adhesive is usually a gilding size or compatible leaf adhesive chosen for imitation, composition, aluminum, copper, or variegated leaf.

Metal leaf is often thicker and less expensive than genuine precious-metal leaf, but it still needs a properly prepared surface and correct tack. The adhesive must suit the substrate and the finish schedule, especially when a sealer will be applied over the leaf.

Because many metal leaves contain copper alloys, fingerprints, humidity, and the wrong coating can cause discoloration. Use clean handling, proper size, and a sealer system intended for the material.

Genuine gold leaf needs the right size, surface preparation, and finish for the project.

Tack timing and compatibility matter. Too wet can drown, wrinkle, or smear leaf; too dry can weaken adhesion. Silver, imitation metal leaf, copper-alloy leaf, and many foil effects often need protection, while high-karat genuine gold may not need the same sealing approach.

Use tell if gold leaf is real by matching the material and format to the surface, then applying it with the correct size, tack, and finishing method.

Prepare the surface, choose loose, patent, transfer, ribbon, roll, or sheet format, apply size, wait for tack, lay the leaf, patch gaps, brush excess, and finish appropriately.

Prepare the surface first, then apply the compatible adhesive or size and wait for the right tack. Lay the material with slight overlap, patch misses, brush excess gently, and seal only when the material and exposure require protection.

Gold leaf adhesive needs the right size, surface preparation, and finish for the project.

Use a compatible gilding size and wait for correct tack. High-karat genuine gold often resists tarnish; lower-karat alloys, handled surfaces, and some environments may require different protection decisions.

Difference between gold leaf and gold foil can mean decorative foil, edible foil, craft foil, specialty metal foil, or a search term for leaf.

Foil is generally thicker or different in construction from traditional leaf. It may be used for hot glass, bead making, craft transfer, food decoration if edible, or specialty decorative effects.

Gold leaf and silver leaf are traditional gilding materials; foil is not automatically real gold, real silver, edible, or suitable for the same adhesive system.
