"Sztuka pozłotnictwa" by EMPI2 is a technical manual focused on the craft of gilding. The book presents step‑by‑step instruction for applying gold leaf and other metal leaf, covering both traditional and contemporary approaches. It explains surface preparation, types of adhesives, application methods, burnishing techniques and finishing processes, aiming to provide practical guidance for craftsmen, conservators and hobbyists who work with decorative metal leaf.
The manual consolidates practical information on materials and tools used in gilding and describes clear procedures for each stage of the process. It balances historical techniques with modern adaptations, enabling readers to compare methods and choose suitable solutions for different substrates. The content is organized to support both learning and on‑the‑job reference, with emphasis on reproducible steps and surface care.
Read introductory chapters to understand the materials and safety considerations, then follow step‑by‑step recipes for the specific gilding technique you plan to use. Use the book as a reference when selecting adhesives, preparing substrates and choosing appropriate leaf and tools. Practical projects and illustrated sequences are intended to be followed in order; consult the troubleshooting notes when encountering adhesion or finish issues.
Consult the sections on surface preparation before beginning any gilding work, and test adhesives and leaf on sample pieces. Maintain appropriate ventilation and use protective equipment when handling adhesives and solvents. For conservation work, cross‑check methods with material compatibility and conservation ethics.
