I have made these large 8" x 8" gilding cushions myself. You have more room to maneuver when handling the leaf. The leather I chose is particularly dense and tough. It will last many years. Price £34.99
This is the new glaire manufactured by J.Hewit & Sons Ltd in England. It's water based so poses no problem from fumes unlike the other popular shellac based glair. This is the size you need for gilding onto leather. It is easy to apply with a brush or cotton wool pad, you can also leave this glaire once applied and come back weeks later if needed to do the gilding.
Price £8.99 including shipping temporarily out of stock
50g of Fine grade pumice powder, this is essential for keeping the gilding cushion free of grease. Price £8.50 including shipping
If you are new to gilding on leather I suggest using this economical leaf with which to practice upon. It has to be handled in the same way as genuine gold leaf, and this leaf will adhere to leather in the same way when used with a suitable glaire.

I have put together a very
nice gilding kit, the kit comprises a solid hard wood
hinged box.
Imitation gold leaf is a
vastly under rated material, I used it all the time in our
workshops for a variety of things. It
comes in various shades, the one I
sell here is a very close match to 23 carat gold leaf in
colour.
The DVD's arrived last week and I have been glued to the tv screen. I have been busy sharpening my knives the way the DVD teaches, and it works! Great to have really sharp knives. Mac
Just a thank you for your excellent tutorial on clasp making -wonderful. Thanks so much. You're really generous to share your knowledge and skill with us youngsters. Tony
