Leaf silvering foil flakes 3 g Titanum — decorative metal leaf for gilding and restoration

Titanum silvering foil flakes, supplied in a 3 g pack, are delicate decorative metal leaf fragments intended for gilding, restoration and craft applications. The product consists of thin silver-coloured foil flakes that can be applied to prepared surfaces using appropriate adhesive or sizing. The flakes are suitable for creating metallic accents, antiqued finishes and fine-detail embellishment on materials such as wood, plaster, glass and furniture.

Advantages

The flakes offer a controllable metallic effect that is easier to handle than full sheets for small or irregular areas. Their loose-flake form allows gradual build-up of coverage and precise placement in detailed work. The silver-coloured finish provides consistent reflective properties suitable for restoration, decorative painting and mixed-media crafts without the need for specialised tools.

Suitable for

• Gilding small mouldings, frames and decorative furniture details
• Restoration of decorative surfaces with metallic highlights
• Mixed-media craft projects and decorative painting
• Applying metallic accents to plaster, wood or glass

Key specifications

• Net weight: 3 g of silver-coloured foil flakes
• Form: loose flakes (variable size)
• Colour: silver tone
• Intended use: decorative gilding, restoration and craft embellishment
• Suitable substrates: wood, plaster, glass, painted and sealed furniture surfaces

How to use

Prepare the substrate by cleaning and, if necessary, applying a suitable primer or size compatible with metal leaf application. Apply a thin, tacky layer of adhesive or gilding size to the target area and wait until it reaches the recommended tackiness specified by the adhesive manufacturer. Using a soft brush or tweezers, pick up individual flakes and lay them gently onto the tacky surface, smoothing them down lightly to ensure contact. Overlap flakes as needed to achieve the desired coverage and texture. Once adhesive is fully dry, remove excess loose particles with a soft brush and, if required, seal the decorated area with a compatible clear varnish or sealer to protect the finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the adhesive and sealing products on a small sample area first to confirm compatibility and appearance. Work in a dust-free environment and handle flakes with care to avoid contamination or loss; use soft, non-abrasive tools when smoothing and a low-tack brush to remove excess. When restoring antiques, match the silver tone and application technique to the original finish to maintain historical consistency.
