Gilders Rouge

Gilder’s rouge is a fine powder traditionally used with a pounce bag to prepare surfaces when working with loose metal leaf. The powder is lightly applied to a gilders pad or working surface to prevent delicate gold leaf from sticking during handling and cutting. This allows the gilder to move and trim the leaf more easily without tearing or damaging the fragile material.
Sepp Leaf Products offers gilder’s rouge powder supplied in convenient one-pound packages for professional gilding work. It is an essential studio material when working with loose leaf and helps ensure smooth handling and accurate preparation during the gilding process.
