Gilders Tip Small (Squirrel)

This Gilders Tip measures 87.5mm and is made from pure squirrel hair. It is for picking up loose gold leaf from a Gilders Cushion or direct from the booklet and applying it to the size. The brush is either wiped on the nose or through your hair to collect a little grease. The leaf of gold attaches itself to the brush when it is gently pressed on it.
