1000+ questions about gold, silver, and metal leaf; gilding supplies, tools, techniques; edibles; craftwork; and troubleshooting.
Apply gold foil by preparing the surface, applying the correct size, waiting for proper tack, laying the leaf or foil, brushing excess, and sealing only when needed.
Gold foil application depends on whether the material is decorative foil, edible foil, craft transfer foil, or confused with gold leaf.
First identify the product. Hot-glass foil, edible gold, craft foil, transfer foil, and genuine gold leaf all use different methods and adhesives.
For decorative surface work, prepare the substrate, use the compatible adhesive or size, apply foil carefully, and protect it if the product requires protection. For food, do not use craft or decorative foil; use edible gold only.

Foil is not automatically gold leaf, silver leaf, real precious metal, or edible. The correct product depends on whether the use is decorative foil, edible foil, craft foil, or genuine leaf.
