How to Use:

1. Traditional Gilding:

   • Prepare Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. Apply a suitable gilding adhesive or sizing onto the surface.
   • Apply Silver Leaf: Gently place the silver leaf sheet onto the adhesive-covered surface using a soft brush or gilding knife. Press lightly to adhere the leaf to the surface.
   • Burnish and Seal: Once the adhesive has dried, gently burnish the leaf with a soft cloth to remove excess and achieve a smooth finish. Seal with a protective varnish or sealer to preserve the silver leaf's shine.

2. Modern Resin Art:

   • Prepare Resin Mixture: Mix epoxy resin or resin of your choice according to the manufacturer's instructions.
   • Add Silver Leaf Chunks: Optionally, crush the silver leaf sheets into small chunks and add them to the resin mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the silver leaf chunks.
   • Pour Resin: Pour the resin mixture into molds or onto surfaces, ensuring the silver leaf chunks are evenly dispersed.
   • Allow Curing: Allow the resin to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cured, finish as desired to showcase the luxurious silver leaf effect.

3. Artistic Technique:

   • Apply Fevicol (or adhesive): Use Fevicol or a similar adhesive to apply the silver leaf sheets directly onto surfaces such as paintings or sculptures.
   • Seal with Resin: Once the adhesive has dried, pour resin over the silver leaf to encapsulate and protect it while preserving its reflective properties.
