Common Uses for Imitation X-Press It Gold Leaf:

• Furniture Restoration & Decor: Transforming tables, chairs, frames, and cabinets.
• Interior Design: Gilding ceilings, cornices, and walls.
• Art & Crafts: Adding highlights to paintings, sculptures, and ceramics.
• Mixed Media & Signage: Used in scrapbooking, paper crafts, and on glass or wood.

Key Considerations:

• Indoor Only: It is not recommended for exterior projects because the copper alloy tarnishes and turns black when exposed to moisture.

• Application: Applied using a water-based adhesive called “size”.
• Not Food Safe: It is strictly for decorative, not functional or edible, items.
