Product Description
Extra thick superior quality 24 carat eco conflict free gold foil for Keum-Boo.
This gold foil is absolutely gorgeous to work with. We send this to jewellery makers all across the world, and with the high reviews, I think it is clear exactly how amazing this foil is. It is thicker than most commercially available gold foil, which makes it much easier to handle, it can easily be cut with fine scissors and even paper punches. We're quite sure it will give you more gold for your money - we suggest you do a comparison with other foils available!
Thanks to its thickness it is excellent for Keum-Boo (also called Kumbo, Kum-Boo, Kum-Bu or Keum-Bu), an ancient Korean technique where you fuse gold foil to your silver (or other metals, like steel), using heat and pressure, it gives a beautiful result. If you are a silver clay artist, this is an ideal technique to try.

WEIGHT: 0.2 grams
MEASUREMENTS: 3.5 x 5cm.
Varied thickness (see note below), but approximately 0.014 mm/14 micron - MUCH thicker than most foils on the market. Do your comparisons and check the numbers carefully, you might get a surprise.The thickness varies from 0.012-0.016 mm, or 12-16 micron, across the surface. The thickness vary across as it is manufactured by adding many layers of ultrathin gold foils together until they reach the desired thickness. This also means that the density of the foil varies to that of a milled and rolled out gold lump/sheet of the same size. In comparison, gold leaf is about 0.12 microns - so our gold foil is A LOT thicker!

Gold Foil
Ideal for Keum Boo. I draw my design on tracing paper first and then put the foil between this and another layer of tracing paper so easier to cut out without touching it. Can use a hot plate to make it adhere to the silver but I have an UltraLite Beehive Kiln, purchased from Metal Clay, which works a treat. Gives a lovely effect to jewellery without spending a fortune.

Great product. Probably a little thicker than previous foils I have tried in the past, easy to use with a great colour

Keum Boo Gold Foil
This is a really good price compared to other sites I have checked out. Have used it very successfully on fired clay by using it before cleaning the fired piece. Also used it on depleted sterling silver and worked absolutely fine. Adding it to silver gives a really beautiful effect and well worth the money.
