Ribbon
Leaf is manufactured for gilding narrow stripes or
large expanses with imitation gold, aluminum, & copper
leaf.
All
forms of ribbon leaf are appropriate for indoor use. Imitation
gold and copper leaf must be sealed to prevent tarnishing.
A non water-based sealer is recommended.
Ribbon
leaf is manufactured by placing individual 6 1/4” squares
of leaf overlapped by 1/4” on a continuous roll of paper,
which facilitates handling.The leaves are lightly attached
to the paper by a thin layer of wax. The overlap lines are
faintly visible on the gilded surface and repeat regularly
at 6” intervals. The ribbons come with clean and even
edges.
