Sealing Gold Leaf

Whether to seal gold leaf depends on the metal, karat, surface, location, handling, and desired appearance. Genuine high-karat gold often does not need the same protection as imitation leaf or silver leaf, but exterior exposure, abrasion, and tarnish-prone metals may require a compatible coating.
