Brushes & Gilders Tips

Essential brushes for transporting loose gold leaf to the gilders cushion and then to the object to be gilded, the gilders tip is a “moustache” of fine squirrel hair sandwiched between two pieces of card. Gently brushed against the side of you face or over your hair to pick up a little oil, place the brush over (flat side down) and the delicate gold leaf will cling to the hairs.

Also included are a tamping brush and other squirrel hair brushes for helping to push the gold leaf into intricate areas and to brush away any leaf that has not adhered.
