Patent Leaf vs Loose Leaf

Loose leaf is placed between book papers and lifted with a gilder’s tip, making it useful for traditional water gilding and detailed work. Patent leaf is lightly attached to backing paper and is easier to handle on flat or exterior surfaces because the sheet can be pressed onto the sized surface from the backing.
