Gilders Tip (Gold Leaf) The gilder's tip is a squirrel hair brush used to pick up pieces of gold leaf on the tips of the hairs. Our soft, single-thick pure squirrel hair brushes have long, stiff hairs. The 35 mm width brushes are wide enough to be used for cut pieces. A tip is not usually needed for composite metal leaf, which is heavier and typically easier to handle than gold, but may be necessary for silver leaf, in which case a tip with double thickness of hairs may be used (which can be made by taping two brushes together), or a gilder's tip made with hog bristles.
Curd Soap for Brushes Pure Curd Soap (ReineKernseife) is a simple, hardworking and long lasting soap is made from pure tallow and coconut oil—70% of the soap composition. Coconut oil contributes cleaning power even in cold and hard water, while tallow gives the soap hardness, which prevents it from softening quickly when wet, making a longer lasting soap. Before being put on sale, it is thoroughly matured to increase its durability.
Gilders Tip (Silver Leaf) To use our silver tip, stroke it against your hair or skin. This is a technique is believed to work for different reasons. Some believe that it imparts a trace of oil that allows the brush to pick up silver leaf for placement onto the sized surface. Others think that it creates a static electrical charge on the brush that allows the silver leaf to adhere lightly to it. Whatever the real reason, you can follows these directions to lay silver on a surface sized with glue (water gilding):
Red Sable Detail Brush Kolibri brushes are handmade in Germany by Feurer & Sohn, one of the oldest brush manufacturers in Germany (established 1898). They are made by dedicated brush makers, using the highest quality hair obtained in Russia. Kolibri Red Sable Detail brushes are designed for painting the sharpest details with fluid paint. They are made from the tail hair of the weasel (Mustelanivalis) found in northern China.
