Gilders Tip 1
The Smith Tip Ref: 3000/7
The Smith Tip is a specially designed gilders tip for use in transferring loose leaf from it's backing paper to a glass surface. Some of the innovative features of this unique gilders tip are:

  • It's large size ( 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" ) fully covers the leaf, allowing for maximum control and stability of the leaf while transporting it.
  • The rigid back of the tip prevents the gold leaf from tearing while moving it.
  • The weighted handle makes picking the tip up easy.
  • The tip comes complete with Dave Smith's own written instructions for gilding onto glass.
