GIUSTO MANETTI Gilder's Tips are useful for extracting the gold and other precious metal leaf from the book once cut and transferring it from the cushion to the surface to decorate.
The squirrel hair tips are soft and fine. The brushes consist of the animal fur sandwiched between thin strips of cardboard. They are available in different widths depending on your specific need.
TIP! For better use of the brushes you should rub them on your skin before moving the leaf: the heat, slight oiliness of the skin and the electrostatic effect of the rubbing makes removing the leaf easier!
