Platinum (Surface) 40g - 80mm *Ltd. Book - Giusto Manetti This is genuine Platinum platinum leaf in surface form — 40g 80mm leaf from Giusto Manetti, made for gilders who lay real platinum. Giusto Manetti Battiloro has beaten gold leaf in Florence, Italy since the 1600s — leaf beaten the slow way, leaf by leaf, the way master gilders have used it for centuries. Surface leaf is the classic loose-leaf booklet for hand gilding — each leaf interleaved with tissue, ready to pick up with a tip and lay onto your prepared ground. A book is the right size to learn a new shade or keep a working stock of the colors you reach for most. Use it for frame, mirror, and furniture gilding on wood, metal, glass, plaster, and canvas. Platinum is the classic gilder's shade — the color clients picture when they ask for platinum leaf. Handle leaf in still air — even a breath moves it. Keep books flat, dry, and away from direct sun; leaf keeps indefinitely when stored cool and dry. Wipe tools clean before you start so no oil or dust rides along onto the size. Details
