1000+ questions about gold, silver, and metal leaf; gilding supplies, tools, techniques; edibles; craftwork; and troubleshooting.
Gold foil can mean decorative foil, edible foil, craft foil, or genuine leaf. The correct product depends on the intended use.
Gold foil can be real metal foil, edible gold foil, craft foil, or a term people use when they mean gold leaf.
The correct answer depends on thickness, material, and use. Gold leaf is extremely thin and used for gilding; specialty foil is heavier; edible gold is made for food; craft foil may be a transfer film or metallic-looking material.
Before buying or applying gold foil, decide whether the project is food, paper craft, hot glass, decorative gilding, imitation finish, or genuine precious-metal work. The products are not interchangeable.
