Laura Dapolito: I have used this gold leaf for multiple art projects and it is very easy to handle, adheres properly to most surfaces, and has a beautiful gold finish. Make sure to order the adhesive size and sealer to protect the gold leaf from damaging.

Z1A: I researched gold leaf before buying this and found many reviews saying that the Mona Lisa brand was the best. It arrived undamaged (surprisingly). The gold leaf is very fine and somewhat tricky to master. I used Mod Podge as an adhesive because I wasn't aware that there was a specific adhesive for the product. The gold didn't stick to the Mod Podge I applied and just brushed off. Bought the small jar of adhesive size by Mona Lisa and it worked perfectly. I'm using the gold leaf on heavy watercolor paper and it adheres well. It is tricker to get a clean adhesion depending on the type of paper I am using. Had to apply 3 thin coats of the size in order to get it to become tacky. Adds a nice touch to my watercolor/linocut prints.

Prof. Anton: This metal leaf product is not gold (just FYI) but looks and feels just like gold leaf. The amount is very generous for the price. each "leaf" measures 5 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches. The package contains 25 leaves. As an artist, working on delicate artwork, I suggest that you work with this product in a trial or test piece first. I use the gold leaf with Krylon Easy Tack to form a durable adhesive bond to the surface. Speedball offers a paint-on glue. I preferred the spray- just personal preference. Either way this is a beautiful and durable artistic element. Highly recommend!

Cito Gaston Fan: Great quality gold leaf, i like this better than the off-brand ones. It's packaged well for easily removing one sheet at a time!

Rachel: I've not got much to compare to in the way of gold leaf brands or methods, but from the few things I've learnt, the process is a lot trickier (and messier) than I thought but, it definitely yeilds such pretty results! You get 25 sheets with this pack which unless you're covering furniture (and in that case - good luck to you!), it's plenty. My favorite easy way to put it to use is to paint a canvas with just a few of your favorite shades in long, vertical flowing lines, all slightly blended into each other and then take a few torn strips of the gold leaf and place them along the striations in the paint (all while still damp). Either that, or use a stencil and some glue on a sponge pouncer sparingly. Remove the stencil and then gently apply a single sheet of gold leaf. Don't use your fingers to press it down because it will tear - use a soft, dry paintbrush instead. Once it's all dry, buff the excess gold leaf away and you'll be left with a pretty filigree design or a gold love heart you can frame. make a simple canvas painting with striatum so far a few of your favorite colors and then lightly tap a few torn strips on top. The way the light catches it is beautiful. If you're...
