Leaves are applied onto rolls of tissue paper to a standard length of 50 metres and a standard width of 15 cm. Rolls allow for rapid and accurate oil gilding on large, flat surfaces. During gilding the rolls can be cut to length using ordinary scissors, paying special attention that they are cut near to the joints between the leaves. On request the rolls can be supplied pre-cut in width from a minimum of 10 mm with the 50 metre length remaining fixed.
